The future student body president of the University of Florida, who won election on the tagline, “Character that counts,” did not bring that winning character to spring break in Key West, Florida.
William Smith Meyers, 22, was arrested and jailed after drunkenly tipping over two Harley Davidson motorcycles and scooters, according to the Miami Herald. The reasoning he told police was that nobody knew how to ride bikes in Key West. Other than that Meyers did not make a whole lot of sense and didn’t even know he was on vacation in Key West. He thought he was at home in Tampa.
The entire police body cam footage of the arrest was made public online.
The police were called to a scene after a resident reported loud noises from motorcycles and scooters being knocked over. Allegedly Meyers tried to ride the bikes, but got frustrated when they did not start and shoved them to the ground.
Meyers one-year term as student body president is set to begin in April. The student body president represents more than 52,000 students at the University of Florida and is the only student member on the university’s board of trustees.
