As many UD students were tucking themselves into bed after a long night in the Ghetto during the early morning hours of Saturday, Jan. 30, one student was not. Instead, he was passed out inside a local church.

Dayton Police were dispatched to South Park Methodist Church, located across from campus at the corner of Brown Street and Stonemill Road, after the burglar alarm had been set off. They discovered the 20-year-old male UD undergraduate just after 3 a.m., according to a Dayton Daily News article.

The police report stated that they discovered that glass panels on the front door of the church had been broken and smelled cigarette smoke once they entered the building. They then found the student asleep in the foyer of the church, where he appeared to have urinated, according to the DDN article.

Upon waking up, the student was charged with criminal damaging and underage consumption. He told the police that he believed he was asleep in his Marianist Hall dorm room.

According to the article, the Dayton Police then returned the student to his dorm room and gave him a summons to appear in court.

The student will also be charged through the university, according to Bruce Burt, the executive director of Public Safety.
