I don't.
I said It was a guess on my part, but you must have missed that.
If this makes you feel better.

It does say he had alcohol on him, my guess he was opening consuming it.

This is just conjecture on my part, since I wasn't there and the story doesn't give many details.

ok, must have missed that you were just guessing. Possession after interdiction and being under the influence are 2 different things. I thought perhaps there was another news article or something I missed...no matter.

18 year old convicted felon? Going to college? Doesn't sound right.

He might have been a juvenile charged as an adult.

Or he could have been convicted but gotten probation. You don't have to actually go to prison to be a felon.

He can have the felondisability for a crime he conducted while under 18.
