Terrin Thomas, a 22-year-old IU student who was named Miss Indiana in 2013, was arrested Wednesday morning on preliminary charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct and resisting law enforcement.
The Bloomington Police Department received a call around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday regarding an intoxicated female who had been knocking on an apartment’s door for roughly half an hour and yelling “Let me in,” BPD Sgt. Pam Gladish said.
When officers arrived, they found Thomas in the vicinity of the apartment.
Gladish said officers perceived her to be intoxicated due to slurred speech, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on her person and an abusive attitude toward them.
Thomas told officers she was trying to find her boyfriend’s apartment but had forgotten his address.
Officers reported she didn’t have her phone or know her boyfriend’s phone ?number.
Gladish said Thomas tried to walk away from officers multiple times when they were talking ?to her.
She was placed in handcuffs and then tried to step on officers and refused to sit in the back of a patrol car.
Officers tried to get her to stay still, but she repeatedly yelled at officers, wouldn’t listen to them and pushed away from an officer as she entered the patrol car.
Thomas was taken to Monroe County Jail.
