Iowa women's basketball player accused of public intoxication, providing false identification

A women's basketball player at the University of Iowa is accused of public intoxication and providing false identification after police say she was laying on the sidewalk kissing a man.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, Bethany G. Doolittle, 18, of Minnesota, was laying on a public sidewalk near Burlington and Johnson streets kissing a man when police asked her for identification on July 14. Police said she told them she did not have identification, then provided them with a false name, Stephanie Johnson, with a birthday of October 16, 1991.

Police said the false name was not valid through either Iowa or Minnesota.

Reports said that, after further questioning, Doolittle admitted to giving a false name because she was scared, and provided her real identification to police officers from her purse.

Doolittle had trouble making sentences, spoke with slurred speech, and blew a .155 during a breath test administered by officers, complaints said.

Doolittle plays center for the Iowa women's basketball team.
