One wonders, too, what was in the instigator's pocket that was so incriminating that he had to hand it off to his girlfriend, for the evening, before the police arrived. Do you suppose it was something he didn't want to be caught with? Many things jump to mind.

Also, who was his girlfriend for the evening? Did the police do a breath tests on both of the principles?
