A 21-year-old man has been ticketed for serving alcohol to a woman who was seriously injured when she fell from the roof of her sorority house last Saturday.
The man was identified by Boulder police as Jon Robert Stroker, a member of the Theta Xi Fraternity in Boulder.
According to a release from Boulder Police, Rachel Anne Feucht went to a party at the Theta Xi Fraternity on Feb. 2 and consumed large quantities of alcohol, specifically beer and vodka, provided by Stroker.
Feucht returned to the Alpha Phi Sorority about 12:30 a.m. Sunday and went to the third floor, the release said.
Detectives believe Feucht may have been unable to get into her room because the door was locked, so she went to a vacant room across the hall.
It appears Feucht decided to climb out the window and walk across the gutter to reach an outside stairwell that would allow her to get back downstairs. She slid off the roof and hit the ground, just before reaching the stairwell.
She was seriously injured and detectives have determined alcohol played a significant role in the incident, the release said.
Stroker has been charged with serving alcohol to a person under the age of 21. The charge is a Class 1 misdemeanor that carries a minimum penalty of six months in jail and a $500 fine. The maximum penalty is 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fine.
Feucht was issued a ticket charging her with possession of alcohol by a minor.
This is the second ticket Feucht has received for possession of alcohol by a minor.
If convicted, she faces a maximum fine of $500, an alcohol evaluation and assessment, mandatory alcohol education classes and 24 hours of community service.
Feucht suffered broken bones and internal injuries but is expected to recover.
