During the investigation, the officer detected a moderate odor of alcohol on the student’s breath. The student informed the officer that he had consumed a can of Four Loco and the Four Loco was affecting his balance and not the alcohol he had consumed earlier in the night. The officer issued the student a court appearance citation for Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor after the officer learned the student was under the legal age of 21. Occurred on: 3-16-11, at 1:12 AM. Commentary: Many of you, not the students, may be wondering what is Four Loco. Four Loco is an alcoholic beverage that also contains many of the same ingredients of an energy drink.
