don'l have a problem with thorn," he said
Howovor. if the kegs aro not ai the correct ad
dresses. EPD trios to track thorn down If police
find tho keg ot another address. they wil! confis
cate it and citn tho purchaser for false swearing,
firooks said
University senior Joe Edwards discovered that
on Friday, Oct. 23
Edwards said ho originally wrote down what he
thought was his friend's address for the site of
consumption Ho said ho planned to have the par
ty at fits friend's house and guessed his friend's
address when he bought the keg from the distrib
utor
According to police reports, tho address of con
sumption on the OLCC receipt that Edwards
signed did not exist Edwards said the keg ended
up at his apartment because his friend did not
want it at his house
Edwards said ho and alanil six of his friends
were sitting in his apartment at about 7 p m last
Friday when the police arrived, gave him a lit kid
for false swearing and confiscated the keg He
said the keg had not been tapped
Edwards said fie made a careless mistake and
never intended to mislead the police
diving false information is just one of many
wavs keg purchasers i an get into trouble with the
law.
Brooks said El’U will issue citations for giving
alcohol to minors, giving alcohol to a visibly in
toxicutod person, possessing a keg without an
Ol.Cr keg identification tag, removing or altering
a keg lag, and selling alcohol without a license
All are Class A misdemeanors
Police are failed to most ( ampus area parties
because of noise t ornplaints. Brooks said
When officers arrive at a party, they have some
options on how to handle the situation, he said
However, Brooks salt! the one tiling the officers
cannot do is ignore a violation
"If the officers don't sire any violations." he
said, "they will contact the person in charge and
ask them to control their party
Officers cun only enter a party uninvited if exi
gent (in umstarices exist, said attorney Dan Koe
nig
Koenig, who worked as a deputy district attor
ney in Eugene for eight years before leaving for
private practice, said exigent cirt umstances exist
when tl is likely tile crime the police believe is
taking place would subside before police could
‘About 90 percent of the kegs
checked are good, and we
don't have a problem with
them.'
— William Brooks,
Lugene police department
obtain a search warrant
If the case goes to court, it is the responsibility
of the police to prove that exigent circumstances
existed, Koenig said
LTD Sgt Dennis Baker said it can take up to
three hours t(f get a search warrant and police
would enter a house uninvited if they believed
evidence of a crime was being removed or do
stroyixi
Baker said police would enter a house if they
saw minors running from the party or kegs being
poured out lie said most of the time people allow
the officers into their homes and that officers usu
ally do not enter uninvited.
"We have had doors slammed in our face," he
said. "We haven't kicked In any doors, but we
have entered parties without asking."
If people can't control their party or are in vio
lation of the law, police will break up the party,
issue citations and may lake people to jail, Baker
said.
"We will take people to jail if it is un aggravat
ed situation and it hxiks like it will got out of
hand," he said. "It only takes one guy to throw
the first bottle, and we have a situation like the
gassing a few years ago."
On March 31. HiB9, police used gas to break up
a large crowd at a campus-area party.
Baker said the police would rather cite people
and release them than arrest them.
"Taking someone to jail takes an officer off the
street for at least an hour," he said "Wo want our
officers out on the street.”
Baker said LTD pours the confiscated kegs out
and returns them to the distributors.
People who have had kegs confiscated could
also lose their deposits because local distributors
said it would be difficult to match kegs to pur
chasers after the police return them
