Sgt. John Backer of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln police station said the 21-year-old Oregon man wandered into the police station after the football game Sunday and apparently thought he was at a casino when he asked front desk staff for blackjack chips, the Lincoln Journal-Star reported Tuesday.
Backer said officers decided to take the man into protective custody for detox after he blew a .273 on a Breathalyzer test. He said the man did not commit any crimes and was not arrested.
