Police Beat: 21-year-old man tries to use fake ID
by Brian Indrelunas published on Friday, August 26, 2005
Tempe police reported the following incidents Thursday:

A 21-year-old Lake Havasu City, Ariz., man was arrested near The Library Bar and Grill, 501 S. Mill Ave., early Thursday morning and charged with using a fake ID to enter the bar. Police reported that the suspect "is 21 ... but presented an ID that was altered. The ID was visibly altered by [scratching] the 84 into 81."

A 29-year-old Las Vegas man was arrested early Thursday morning at the Tempe Police Department on charges of DUI, trespassing, and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. An officer reportedly "saw [the man] drive his vehicle into the secured Tempe PD parking lot ... by following a marked [police] vehicle through a security gate and a 'no trespassing' sign." The officer reportedly noted that the man "displayed signs of alcohol consumption and impairment" and "showed additional signs of impairment" in field sobriety tests. Police also allegedly found a lighter, rolling papers and marijuana in the man's vehicle.

A 22-year-old female ASU student was arrested in the 100 block of East Sixth Street late Wednesday night on charges of public consumption of alcohol and failure to identify herself to police. The woman was reportedly observed drinking from a can of Sparks, an alcoholic energy drink. When police twice asked the woman for an ID, she reportedly "questioned [the] reason to provide ID and crossed [her] hands across [her] chest." Police said the suspect allegedly maintained the hands-crossed pose without answering for 30-60 seconds when asked for ID a third time and was reportedly "placed in handcuffs after a short struggle."
