ISU women’s basketball player Bryanna Fernstrom was charged with public intoxication Monday, according to a report from the Ames Police Department.
The charge stemmed from an incident that occurred in the early morning hours of Sept. 19.
Police were called to 1221 Mayfield Drive at 1:53 a.m. to apartment 302 for an unknown female knocking on the door. Officers arrived at the room and found vomit on the outside door rug, according to the police records.
The officers at the building heard knocking at room 202, where they found Fernstrom. Fernstrom had vomit on her clothing, slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and smelled heavily of ingested alcohol, according to the report.
Fernstrom was unaware of where she lived and where she was coming from and waived a breathalyzer test on the scene.
“We are aware of the situation and will handle it according to team and university rules,” the ISU Athletic Department wrote in a statement.
Fernstrom, 6-foot-5 sophomore center, averaged 9.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game in the 31 games she played last season.
