Lauren Danielle Tharp, 20, told The Red & Black she was stopped early Saturday morning simply for being “unlucky.â€â€œMe and my boyfriend were going into Little Italy,†she said. “We didn’t do anything. [The arresting officers] were just like, ‘You two, stop.’ I didn’t stumble, didn’t fall. I didn’t even know what I got arrested for until about five hours later.†The ACC police report listed the reason for the stop as Tharp “staggering on the sidewalk.â€
Be careful, over zealous college towns. Never forget who brings those disposable dollars to your city. Keep f*cking with the ‘staggering drunks’ and they’ll take their staggering elsewhere.
