Don't Get a Drinking Citation!!

Three weekends ago i was hanging out with some of my friends at one of their apartments. We were just chillin, drinking some beers and having a good time. After about two hours we decided to stop by this party for a little while. The party was decent, although their were not too many people their because of all the snow we received the day before. After about an hour and a half me and my buddies decided to go get some food downtown. DP doughs is a favorite late night restaurant of ours so we stopped by to get some calzones. The food took a while, but we were entertained by some guys from new york who were making fun of their friend because he didn't do something sexually with his girlfriend. It was pretty hysterical because they asked every person that walked into dp doughs what they thought about the predicament. Any way when we left dp doughs i walked back to campus with one of my friends while the other guys went back to the apartment. My friend and i were walking on the side walk past squires when i came across a yellow cardboard wet caution sign that had fallen over and been stepped on. I picked it up and took it with me. Why i did that, i don't know but trust me i regret it. Once my friend and i passed squires we split up cuz we leave in different dorms. About thirty seconds after splitting up i saw a vt police officer walking towards me and motioning me over to his vehicle. He questioned me about the sign and i told him were i got it, he confiscated it from me. I than took a breathalyzer test, which i failed. I blew a .092. Long story short, I had my student conduct hearing the other day and was found guilty of the alcohol policy, disturbing the peace and theft. I'm now on probation for three semesters and have to attend a principles of community class and four alcohol meetings with an alcohol advisor. The classes are going to cost me around 400 bucks. Moral of the story, if you gonna drink be responsible and make good decisions. I really regret picking up that sign because if i hadn't i'm almost a hundred percent sure i would not of gotten pulled over.
