As the parent of a UNCW student who earlier in the year was approached by a UNCW police officer while his vehicle was stopped, had an alcohol level of .00, given a roadside sobriety test, had his car searched, handcuffed and taken to jail where he was held for approximately eight hours, ultimately charged with DUI and under 21 consumption (later told by the officer that he "failed" the roadside sobriety test), this infuriates me. We have paid out a lot of money trying to straighten this mess out, and the nightmare is still not over. This is such a double standard...... I can only hope that the officer's raise is not coming from the increased tuition we are paying at UNCW.
