Eastern Michigan University President Susan Martin locked her keys in the trunk of her car during a 2005 drunken driving arrest at Grand Valley State University, the Detroit News reports.

Martin also conveyed to the arresting officer that she did not expect to be taken into custody, according to the report.

Details on the incident come to light as Martin was reprimanded this week by EMU regents. Martin, who apologized for losing her temper during an argument with an alumnus, was asked to seek counseling due to the alcohol she'd been drinking then and during other undisclosed "prior incidents."
