Per the Ann Arbor case docket. You can find the charges from this link: https://secure.courts.michigan.gov/jis/?court=ANNARBOR

Not a great time for him personally to be in the doghouse with all the talent we have coming in at that position. Understandably they're not major offenses and most of us were probably guilty of that caught or not during our time in Ann Arbor, but it's still surely not something you want to see.

To be fair, if you're Seal, more people would probably believe that name on a fake ID than your given name, which in his case is Olusegun Adeola Samuel (I remember this from an interview he did many moons ago) - most folks who work the front door of bars and clubs in the Midwest would wonder if you made the latter name up, I would think.

That fake ID reminds of the infamous wall of confiscated fake IDs at Village Corner, posted amdist all that coveted liquor for the world to see. . (that is, if the world happened to be waiting at that cash register).

Net media attention is slightly more embarrassing. However, the resulting bad-boy fame factor could translate to some extra hot dates. Ahhh, college.

would too in this day and age.  Seems like cops don't overlook minor stuff like they used to.

Bag of weed?  Dump it out and/or we'll have to confiscate this.  Cases of beer in the trunk?  We're going to have to confiscate this, and make sure you drive straight home.

/cops circa early - mid 90's

through that same era at the same time in my life and I never remember the cops being like you describe.  At all.  I have heard that description of law enforcement in like the 60s and 70s but a bag of weed in the car or a case of beer in the trunk when I was coming up in the 90s meant a guaranteed MIP and issues.

like once I got to college, yeah, there were plenty of "warnings" from cops about staying out of the street, not acting like a jackass, etc., but when I was 17 or 18 years old if I got pulled over in a car with beer, liquor, etc., that was certainly going to be a problem for me (and in fact, was a problem, on a couple of occassions).

The cops were pretty cool to me there when I was in HS.  Some people I knew got busted for stuff, but I was always respectful and had a pretty clean-cut look about me.  Stuff like that goes a long way with certain people.

I'm a mid 80's era guy and that was exactly how things went.  If you had good booze the cops took it.  If it was garbage they would make you pour it out and laugh at your dumb ass as long as you didn't give them a reason to book you.

I grew up in the early 90's as well and there was basically an understanding between the cops and high school/early college kids.  Party out of town at the spots everyone knew were the party spots, don't drink and drive and we won't mess with you, some buddies of mine actually got hit on the way out to a place called the pyramids carrying all of the beer and the cops let them go as they didn't want to have to deal with kids heading back out into town to restock for the party, parties in town were fine as well as long as there were no noise complaints. 

Then right before me senior year in 94/95 a curfew got instituted and the understanding no longer applied.  Lots of MIP's that year and it's not like people stopped drinking.
