[Husker] Niles Paul ticketed

[Scott Lawson]

Well I can speak from experience in my (ahem) younger days that you can in fact be given a breathalyzer (sp?) even when NOT driving.

I may or may not have had a similar situation pop up many many moons ago.

But the article went on to say that he blew a .104 on the breath test.  Why was he given a breath test?  He wasn't driving, he wasn't even in a car.  Was that how they determined we was in possession of alcohol?  He didn't have any on him but the breath results showed he "possessed" it in his system?  Can you refuse a breath test if you are not driving?  I'm sure it's all by the book (knowing the gestapo...err, I mean LPD as I unfortunately do) but I've just never heard of this before.

Public drunkenness is a crime. Taking a whiz in public is probably the 
quickest way to get caught. Niles is under age, so I'm sure that gets 
you in the express line for the breathalyzer.
