A 32-year-old California man was arrested on charges of trespassing at Sonora residence hall Sunday morning. The man reportedly told police he was in the Valley to try out for the Phoenix Suns and came to ASU to find a place to stay since he was avoiding people who were "using his image." The man reportedly said he met a Sonora resident in the hall's lounge who said he could stay in his room. After reportedly trying to contact a local friend and visiting a strip club, the suspect reportedly said he returned to Sonora but received no response when knocking on the door of the room where he expected to stay. He then allegedly went to sleep in a lounge. Department of Public Safety reported the case is pending review by the county attorney's office.

When the officer noticed a red plastic cup, he reportedly asked if the men had been drinking beer. "Yes, but it's all gone," they reportedly replied. The officer reportedly asked the suspect to open his backpack, which allegedly contained six 12-ounce cans of Keystone Light.

Seven people under the age of 21, four of whom were ASU students, were arrested and charged with having alcohol in their systems early Friday morning at the University Towers apartments. All but one of the suspects reportedly admitted to drinking multiple beers, but when asked how much he had to drink, a 19-year-old male student reportedly said, "I plead the first." The officer reportedly asked what the suspect meant. "I am f---ed either way," the suspect the reportedly said. "I was told if I was arrested again for this, I would be kicked out of school." Police reported a "strong odor of alcohol" was coming from the student's body, but he reportedly refused a breath test.
