 Rochester, N.Y. - The man accused of stealing a Rural Metro ambulance while drunk on the University of Rochester campus was in court Thursday. 
 
 The crash happened on Trustee Road around 2:20 a.m. 
 
 Police say Rural Metro was on campus for the report of an intoxicated man, when 22-year-old Robert Cordaro Jr. hopped in the driver's seat of the ambulance and drove off. 
 
 Cordaro is a student at the University of Rochester majoring in political science and English. He is also a member of the football team. 
 
 According to police, Cordaro was able to travel about a quarter of a mile before driving off the roadway and ending up in a flower bed. 
 
 The ambulance was damaged and was towed away. 
 
 Court paperwork stated when Cordaro was taken in custody, he said, "You got me...do whatever you need to do." As he was being handcuffed, he reportedly said, "It was stupid, it was stupid." 
 
 Cordaro registered a .09 percent BAC when he was subjected to a breathalyzer test. Court papers said he told police he had been drinking beers and manhattans. 
 
 The 22-year-old was taken into custody and charged with grand larceny, criminal mischief, DWI and other violations. 
 
 The judge set his bail at $1,500 and remanded him to the Monroe County Jail. 
 
 The University of Rochester did not comment on his graduating status.
– If you're bored on the University of Rochester campus after the bars let out, don't do as this student did: Police say 22-year-old Robert Cordaro Jr. hopped into a Rural Metro ambulance around 2:20am Thursday and drove a quarter of a mile until he crashed into a flower bed, per WHAM. Cordaro was charged with grand larceny, criminal mischief, and DUI. In an equally strange case in South Dakota, authorities say Damon Andrews, 18, crashed a stolen car into a yard at 1:25am Sunday. He was charged with DUI—as was another driver who crashed into the ambulance sent to pick Andrews up, reports the Rapid City Journal.
