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.
