2 Texas A&M professors arrested in Downtown Bryan

Two Texas A&M political science professors were released from jail early Saturday after being arrested in Downtown Bryan on a misdemeanor public intoxication charge.

Police records show that Guy D. Whitten, co-director of Scientific Political Methodology and director of the department’s graduate program, was taken into custody by a Bryan officer.

According to authorities, he was hanging out with an associate, Christine S. Lipsmeyer, who also was arrested on the same charge, though she was detained a block or two away near Main Street by the time police arrived on scene.

It wasn't known late Saturday what prompted authorities to turn their attention toward either.

Having a balanced political discussion at Texas A&M is difficult. Maybe they just snapped. I should know, I graduated from the school.
