Based on what I know, having been 18 and 19 and 20 myself, and having raised four children who have passed through those ages themselves, my BS detector is going off wildly at this story. The police do not do what is being described in my experience because they do not want to have reprimands on their employment records. They further do not like it when they are blamed by the city officials for causing expensive lawsuits and ultimately expensive settlements. Therefore, there is some little teeny tiny detail that your son has omitted in relating why he got arrested to you, Mom/Dad. Can you think of why a young person away at college arrested by the police for under-age drinking might have an incentive to leave out some teeny tiny little detail when explaining their arrest to their parents? In the scheme of how the world works in my understanding that is vastly (like 100% of the time) more likely than the story you were actually told. Now, I dont' know your son. I'm just sayin'...
