drunk in Nebraska would be a crime.
LB 129, introduced by Sen. Samuel
Cullan of Hemingford, provides that a
drunk person can be arrested by any peace
officer without a warrant. The intoxicat
ed person would be held until the officer
could file a complaint and a warrant issued.
Cullan's bill also states that the person
arrested will be charged with a class ill mis
demeanor. He said this offense could bring up to
three months in jail, a $500 fine, or both, public property utilized for proprietary or
He said intoxication would be determined business uses that invite patronage by the

"It's not the law that's the problem "
Wescly said. "It's the police. They are not
taking advantage of the law."
Quasi-public drunkenness
LB87, introduced by Sen. Marge Iliggins
of Omaha, would permit removal of a
drunk person from quasi-public places.
Quasi-public, explained Higgins, is "any
where the public is generally invited to
come." Her bill defines it as private or
drivers suspected of intoxication.
In 1977, public drunkenness was de
criminalized. In 1979, Cullan introduced
a bill similar to LB 129; it was killed by the
senator himself.
Federal funds jeopardized
He said lie killed the bill to retain fed
eral funds for alcohol treatment centers.
They would have been lost if it passed. If
LB 129 passes, the state stands to lose up to
$250,000 in federal funds, Cullen said.
The 1980 Legislature passed two bills
to aid treatment centers, Cullan said. But,
he said, the centers and other programs
have not solved the public drunkenness
problem.
"Much crime is directly related to
alcohol," Cullan said. "The fact of the
matter is that people who drink, do drive.
Hauling people in before they do some
thing more is preventing more serious
crime."
He said the bill would allow police to population is more than 65 years old.

legislation was passed last year allowing from her district but never got out of coin
police to hold an intoxicated person for up mittee.
The bill specifies that the intoxicated
person be held in civil custody no longer
than 12 hours, and that removal fiom
public property will not be considered an
arrest.
Although the pickup would be record
ed, it would not be put on criminal record,
Iliggins said.
Higgins said the person would be placed
in a "drunk tank." Her bill mandates that
the person will not be confined with those
arrested for criminal acts.
Current law, she said, does not permit a
drunk person to be removed from a public
place.
"If they want to go to sleep on a
shopping mall, you can't arrest them,"
I liggins said.
