When Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was a teenager, he was caught doing teenage things, as revealed in documents obtained by BuzzFeed.
In his application to become Texas solicitor general, Cruz was required to list any prior convictions. That included one "guilty plea for minor in possession of alcohol."
Apparently when Cruz was a high school senior in 1987, authorities found an unopened case of beer in his vehicle. They gave him a ticket....

And, I might add, it was nice of Ted to buy a case of beer for the cops, since that’s who ended up drinking it.

A case of beer in his car? When underage? That’s a recommendation in my book.
