Trent said SBPD officers adminis­ ter breathalyzer tests when an individual "appears underage" or if he or she "appears to be under a level of intoxication where they are a danger to themselves." Leone said even students who are not drinking are still subject to take a breathalyzer test and com­ ply with police officers while at off­ campus parties or tailgates. There is a chance they can also receive citations for being part of a public nuisance, she said. Students of legal drinking age at off-campus parties or tailgates can only receive a misdemeanor charge for serving alcohol to a minor if the officer sees them com­ nutting the act, Monterrosa said. The explanation provided by Indiana State Law, however, is somewhat grayer. According to the law. an individual who is 21 or older can receive an infraction if he or she "encourages, aids, or induces a minor to possess or use an alcoholic beverage." Trent said he would not give a citation for inducing unless he per­ sonally saw an individual furnish alcohol to a minor or if he was cer­ tain the individual was conducting the party.
