AUSTIN, Texas (CNN, from our friends at http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/05/30/ jenna.bush/index.html) -- Jenna Bush, one of President Bush's 19-year-old twin daughters, attempted to buy alcohol Tuesday night at an Austin, Texas, restaurant with someone else's identification, a police spokeswoman said.
"She was attempting to purchase alcohol with a valid identification that was not hers," said Laura Albrecht, the police spokeswoman. She said police responded to a call at Chuy's Mexican restaurant but she could not say how the situation was ultimately handled. "She wasn't cited. She was not arrested," said Sally Muir, another public information officer. "It's still being investigated. It's not a done deal."
In Washington, the White House declined to comment, saying it was a family matter. Calls to the restaurant and Bush's attorney were not immediately returned.
A senior administration official told CNN that a "not happy" President Bush called his daughter from California Wednesday morning to discuss the incident. Jenna Bush recently pleaded no contest to alcohol possession by a minor and was ordered to take an alcohol awareness class and complete eight hours of community service.
That citation stemmed from an early morning incident on April 27, when plainclothes officers witnessed Bush, a freshman at the University at Texas at Austin, and an unnamed friend drinking alcohol in the nightclub Cheers Shot Bar, located on Austin's popular Sixth Street. The two girls were given a citation for possession of alcohol for someone under the legal drinking age of 21.
Austin Community Court Judge Elisabeth
Earle ordered Bush to pay $51.25 in court costs, attend a six-hour
alcohol awareness class and complete eight hours
of community service.
Bush has until July 18 to complete the order. If she complies, the offense would be dropped from her permanent record. If she fails to comply, the prosecutor could issue a warrant for her arrest and the misdemeanor offense would go on her record, said Earle.
