Joseph Desmond, a senior in the Krannert School of Management and
Purdue Pete, was arrested on multiple charges at McDonald’s at 605 W. Stadium Ave around 2 a.m. Oct. 11, according to a probable cause affidavit filed today.
The WLPD officer was advised that two men were allegedly fighting in the parking lot, and one hit the other with his vehicle.
A Purdue University Police Department officer reportedly had Desmond in handcuffs and was speaking to the alleged victim, who the officer reported had sustained multiple injuries. A McDonald’s employee identified Desmond as the driver of the vehicle that struck the victim, which Desmond later denied, according to the affidavit.
Desmond allegedly claimed to have been
golfing earlier in the day and to be drunk all night.
The reporting having consumed seven beers while golfing and then going to Harry’s Chocolate Shop around 11 p.m. where he said he had approximately four mixed drinks, although he couldn’t remember exactly how much he had had to drink, documents state.
The officer took Desmond to WLPD headquarters where he subjected him to three separate sobriety tests, all of which he failed.
“I had probable cause to believe (Desmond) had operated a vehicle while intoxicated,” the officer wrote in the report, adding that Desmond’s BAC was 0.172.
Desmond is listed in the Purdue Athletics Spirit Roster for the 2019-2020 season.
