Police Reports: 15-Year-Old Hospitalized After Bout of Drinking

A boy on an afternoon movie date Wednesday at with a girl barely in her teens had to be hospitalized after he drank 20 ounces of vodka and fell, striking his head.

According to the police report:

The 15-year-old Milwaukee boy was cited for underage drinking at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, where he was taken for treatment because of his extreme level of intoxication.

Police were called at 3:28 p.m. Wednesday to check on the boy, who witnesses said had fallen and struck his head. Mall security had moved the boy inside the entrance to the store, where officers found him sitting against a wall and so drunk he could not answer questions.

A medical unit arrived and paramedics also could not communicate with him, so he was sent to the hospital.

A witness pointed out a girl who had been with him before he fell but who had walked off and then returned after authorities arrived. Police interviewed the 13-year-old Wauwatosa girl, who said she had gone to a movie with the boy about 2 p.m. and that as soon as they sat down he brought out a 20-ounce water bottle and told her it was full of vodka.

She said she had one sip, but the boy drank the whole bottle in the course of 30 to 45 minutes and then began to act “annoying.” She left and he followed her, and she decided to leave him after he fell but returned when she saw mall security helping him.

The boy was given a citation at Children’s Hospital after medical staff treated and cleared him. He was released to his parents.
