Police Beat:The odor of an intoxicating beverage


Tempe police reported the following incident Monday:

A 19-year-old Tempe man was arrested near his residence on the 1800 block of East Hayden Lane early Saturday morning and charged with manslaughter and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. The man was allegedly driving through a green light on McClintock Drive near the intersection with Apache Boulevard when he collided with a pedestrian. The pedestrian, a man in his mid-30s, was reportedly not in a crosswalk and died at the scene.

ASU police reported the following incident Monday:

An 18-year-old male ASU student was arrested near the intersection of Sixth Street and Veterans Way and charged with criminal damage and having alcohol in his body. Another 18-year-old male student and an 18-year-old female student were also arrested and charged with having alcohol in their bodies. One of the men was reportedly seen removing a sign from a fence and attempting to tear a "no parking" sign from a light pole. When a police aide asked the students to stop, that man allegedly threw a "Rent a Fence" sign under a parked vehicle. An officer reportedly smelled the odor of an intoxicating beverage coming from the students' breaths and asked each student how much alcohol they had consumed. "[The woman] said 'some,' [one of the men] said 'a lot' and [the man also charged with criminal damage] said 'not as much as him,'" police reported.
