Drunk student found passed out in president's office


Ever wake up drunk beyond repair in UB President John Simpson's office?

No? Well this kid did.

Campus police responded to a unique situation last weekend when a late-night custodian left the door ajar to the president's fifth floor suite in Capen Hall, only to return to find a student passed out in the reception area, according to The Buffalo News.

John Grela, director of public safety, told the Buffalo News the student probably was just looking for a place to sleep after returning from a night of drinking. Grela suspected the student stumbled from the Flint Loop bus stop and up to Simpson's office, where he proceeded to pass out.

According to The Buffalo News, the student got into the president's suite around 2:40 a.m. Saturday. A cleaner had left the office open for only a few minutes.

University Police took the student to Erie County Medical Center for evaluation.
