On Dec. 3, the Reporting Officer (R/O) responded to a dorm in Richardson Hall in reference to a female who was unconscious and unresponsive. Once on scene, the R/O met with two subjects, who stated that the victim was lying on the floor unresponsive. The subjects stated that the victim had a heart condition and had been prone to fainting in the past.
The R/O and subjects made their way to the aforementioned room and observed that the victim was conscious but was lying on the floor and appeared to be panicked and stated that she was having difficulty breathing. The R/O advised the victim to remain calm and breathe slowly, explaining that EMS was already on the way.
At this time, EMS arrived and began to evaluate the subject. EMS was eventually able to calm the victim and helped her sit up. During this, EMS asked the subjects if she had been drinking or if she had taken any drugs, to which the subjects admitted that they had all been drinking. EMS then asked exactly how much she had to drink, to which one subject stated that she had two “Truly’s,” half of a “Four Loko,” six shots of “Malibu,” half of a “Smirnoff Ice” and “probably some other stuff.” EMS then transported the victim to Piedmont Gold Hill, stating that they were concerned she might choke on her vomit if she was not transported.
The R/O, along with an RA, gathered all subjects in the lobby of the building. The R/O advised the subjects that underage drinking, as well as providing alcohol to minors, was illegal and could result in criminal charges. The subjects were advised that they were not currently being charged, but that they would all be referred to the Dean of Students Office to be disciplined at a university level. The R/O then cleared from the scene. All subjects and the victim will be referred to the Dean of Students Office.
