As part of our initiative called Curious Cornhuskers, an anonymous reader asked The Daily Nebraskan, âHow do people get away with public intoxication near campus? Does UNLPD have an agreement with UNL?â
Marty Fehringer, assistant chief of police of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department, said there is no law against public intoxication. Nebraska decriminalized public intoxication in 1979.
The protocol for public intoxication is if an intoxicated person is a danger to themselves, then UNLPD officers can take them to a detox center, like The Bridge Behavioral Health, according to Fehringer. He said this decriminalizes what could be an alcohol problem.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police Department cited and released the individual responsible for several fraud incidents on campus, where he borrowed studentsâ phones to transfer himself money.
The six related cases of fraud happened on Feb. 25, 26, 28 and March 2, four occurring at Love Library South, one occurring at the Nebraska Union and one at Howard L. Hawks Hall.
Deondre White, a 26-year-old man, was responsible for the six cases of fraud, according to Marty Fehringer, assistant chief of police at UNLPD. White was cited and released for unauthorized use of a financial transaction device, and he was banned and barred from UNLâs campus, according to Sgt. Margot Nason.
