You're doing walks when you encounter a half-full bottle of tequila in the stairwell.

Abandon the alcohol and help the resident. Call ResEd and let them know where it is but you had to leave for an emergency.
OR
Tell the resident to call police and wait for ResEd together. After ResEd dumps the alcohol, go to the resident and assist police.
Bad choices: dump the alcohol yourself and then go to the resident; call police on behalf of resident (you don't know enough info at that moment), ignore the resident altogether
