VA Alcoholic Beverage Control Chief Asks State Police for "Administrative Review" of Arrest of 20-Year-Old Girl Who Was Buying Bottled Water
Calls the state police an "impartial third party"
The state Alcoholic Beverage Control's top official said he has asked Virginia State Police to conduct an administrative review of the arrest of a 20-year-old University of Virginia student who was carrying bottled water that officers thought was beer.
"Once the charges were nolle prossed, I immediately directed the internal review of the circumstances leading up to the young lady's arrest," ABC Chairman J. Neal Insley stated late Monday.

How about a criminal prosecution instead of an administrative review.
