BOWLING GREEN A Bowling Green State University police officer is being investigated for possibly serving alcohol to minors.

BGSU received a complaint last month that one of its officers allegedly served alcohol to minors at an event at his home. His name is not being released.

The matter was turned over to the Bowling Green city police department for investigation, and the university is awaiting results before conducting an administrative review. The officer remains on duty.

The university released a statement yesterday:

Bowling Green State University takes any alleged violation of the law by a faculty or staff member very seriously, the statement read. At the same time, we have a duty to ensure that our employees are treated fairly and receive the due process that they are entitled to under the law.
