Former UF Student Body President Ryan Moseley was arrested early Sunday on charges of an open container violation and resisting arrest non-violently.
Moseley, who left office in May, declined to comment on the arrest under the advice of his lawyer.
According to Lt. Sherry Scott, Gainesville Police reports state that Moseley, 23, was spotted with a "cup of amber liquid" in his hand on Northwest First Avenue at about 1:30 a.m.
When Officer Summer Hallett called to him from her nearby post, Moseley poured the contents of the cup onto the ground and continued walking, Scott said.
After being called a second time, Moseley walked to Hallett, who put him in handcuffs.
When Hallett asked Moseley's companion, Ashley Hablitzel, to bring her the cup, Moseley encouraged her to leave it on the ground, Scott said.
Hallett reported that she could smell alcohol on Moseley and that the cup was found to have contained alcohol.
