An intoxicated University of Iowa student is accused of trespassing at the UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital while claiming it was his dormitory.
UI Police came across the 18-year-old from Naperville as he was sitting outside Hillcrest Residence Hall at 1:30 Friday morning. He allegedly showed signs of intoxication, admitted to drinking while underage at the bars, and produced a fake driver’s license showing him to be of legal drinking age.
The student was adamant that he lived at Hillcrest, although university records show him to be a resident of Rienow Hall up the street. He also had no idea what year it was. His breath alcohol level was measured at .191%.
Police took the student to the nearby UI Health Care Emergency Department on Hawkins Drive for an evaluation. At some point, he reportedly wandered over to the lobby of the UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital, which he believed was his dorm.
The student is now charged with Public Intoxication and Possession of a Fake ID.
