Maybe he felt guilty. Maybe it was a fraternity prank, a rite of passage, or maybe Arthur Henkel simply took a friend's quip a bit too literally.

Police said the 20-year-old Lehigh University student popped into the Bethlehem police department early this morning to turn himself in.

He didn't rob the markets on West Broad Street earlier this week. He didn't assault anyone, or wreck his car. Nope, he was just drunk, police said. Henkel, local address unknown, slept off his haze in a city cell and hiked home about 6:20 a.m.Lt. Joe Kimock said Henkel walked into the station at 1:39 a.m. and indicated that he was intoxicated. Police agreed and charged him with public drunkenness and underage consumption.

Police are unsure where or what the student was imbibing, but were more than happy to house the penitent man for the night.
