A student leader who slammed the media for unfairly portraying students as irresponsible, has been charged with drunken driving.
Christopher Bevan, 21, was pulled over last weekend in Pennsylvania after a campus police officer said he saw the Bloomsburg University student driving more than 50 mph in a 15-mph zone. A breath test showed Bevan's blood-alcohol level was .147 percent, authorities said. The legal limit for drivers in Pennsylvania is .08 percent. Bevan recently wrote a letter to the Press Enterprise of Bloomsburg about media coverage of the central Pennsylvania college's annual Block Party, an event critics have described as rowdy and alcohol-fueled. The stories have 'painted BU students with a broad and negative brush and are both inaccurate and extremely unfair to the thousands of responsible, mature Bloomsburg students who are an asset to the school and this community,' Bevan wrote. Bevan declined to say if he would step down from his position as president of the student body. He also would not comment on the arrest. College spokeswoman Liza Benedict called the arrest out of character for Bevan. 'Up to this point, Chris has set a great example for the students and worked well with the university,' she said. Bevan was charged with driving under the influence, driving at an unsafe speed and careless driving.
