Man Injured in Fall

On November 18th, at 2:00 AM, Amherst Officers responded to a College Street residence for a report of an unconscious male. Upon arrival, Officers Lamoureux and Matuszko discovered that the male, a 20-year-old UMass student from Framingham, MA, had fallen off of a residential porch that was 15-feet high. According to witness accounts of the incident, the injured individual, who was allegedly intoxicated, thought it would be a good idea to stand on the railing of the porch while urinating. The male was transported to Baystate Medical Center with facial injuries and is expected to be released today.

Yeah, beer will do that. Make you urinate; and make you think you are invincible. Not a great combination if you live on the second floor (lucky thing nobody was directly below.)

I feel a little guilty about laughing at idiots who hurt themselves...

...but I just can't help it.

I wonder if there's a YouTube video of this incident...
