Winona State University sophomore softball player Chel- sea Rosenow had a little too much fun partying before Hal- loween. Rosenow was arrested after passing out drunk on the lawn of the Winona Law Enforcement Center on Third Street. Shortly before 11 p.m. on Oct. 29, someone called and told Winona police that a drunken bumblebee was outside the LEC. Once outside, the police found Rosenow, who was dressed as a bumblebee for Halloween, on the ground. After being asked for identification, the 20-year-old Rose- DATE: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2005 now presented her sister's ID, showing her to be 23-years- TIME: 6:00 RM. TO 9:30 RM. old. Police apparently didn't believe her and asked for more ID. VENUE: LOURDES HALL CAFETERIA Rosenow then showed the police her Winona State ID. A breathalyzer test showed Rosenow's blood-alcohol con- tent was 0.16 percent, twice the legal limit for someone of age, and well higher than the accepted maximum for a minor. Rosenow was arrested on suspicion of giving false infor- mation to police, possessing the identification of another and underage drinking. Softball coach Greg Jones said this is the first time in his six years at Winona State that he has had to deal with a situation like this. "We are dealing with the situation right now, but I haven't heard all the facts yet," Jones said. "The immediate action is that she is still on the team and back in school, and I hope it will stay that way. "As for suspensions, we will deal with that and punishment will be handed down once the season starts. There is a chain of command that must be followed for things like this, and we will take the next step when necessary. We need to make sure everyone is on the same page." As a freshman last year, Rosenow appeared in 55 of Wi- nona State's 57 games, including 52 starts.
