You may be able to hide from mom and dad, but you can’t hide from the University of Georgia. A new code of conduct policy approved yesterday requires students to inform the Office of Judicial Programs about any arrests, criminal convictions and other disciplinary action.
 

Students over the age of 18 are not legally obligated to tell their parents about these transgressions, but it’s a toss-up over who’s scarier anyway: Mom and dad or the University?
 

As frightening as ’fessing up might be, silence could be costlier. Those who keep quiet about their late night drunk mailbox bashing spree could face suspension or expulsion from school.
 

This policy comes just as one student is certainly regretting his own recent arrest. Robert Adam Kapfhamer, a senior, was charged with attempted burglary after he was caught removing a screen from a window. What he probably didn’t realize right away was that he had picked the wrong house to mess with.
 

Kapfhamer was at the home of a University police sergeant who didn’t take kindly to being awoken at 3 a.m. Oh shit.

The sergeant came after the kid who immediately stopped in his tracks when he saw the officer’s police gear in hand. Then, ever the typical college student, the excuses started flying. The Red and Black reports:

Kapfhamer told police he was playing volleyball earlier that evening and left his cell phone out by the volleyball courts. He said he came back to look for his phone. After some beer and a bottle of wine, Kapfhamer said he might have blacked out and later said he might have stumbled into the window screen. He denied he was trying to break in to the residence.

Ah, the ever popular blackout excuse.
 

Oh, and you thought that was attempted robbery? Nah, if anything it was simply first degree klutziness.
