Police are looking into who supplied a Chico State University freshman with liquor Saturday night, resulting in alcohol poisoning that nearly cost the young woman her life.
Just after 10 p.m., university police arrived at a sorority house in the 800 block of Rio Chico Way, where a large party was in progress.
One patrol car was immediately hit with a bottle thrown by an unidentified partygoer.
University police asked for backup from Chico police before investigating.
Inside the residence they discovered an unconscious Tara Johnson, 18.
She was rushed by ambulance to Enloe Medical Center, where her blood-alcohol concentration was measured at 0.32 percent, which is four times the legal threshold for intoxication.
Officials said Johnson barely survived the overdose, but was recovering Monday at the hospital.
