An unidentified college student managed to get away without any kind of punishment after cops caught her drinking underage at a festival - because she beat them at a game of Rock Paper Scissors. 

A video posted on social media site Vine by a user known as Old Row, shows the girl surrounded by her fellow festival goers at Texas-based country music festival Chilifest last weekend, facing up to three officers who are believed to have busted her for drinking, before challenging her to a round of the beloved playground game. 

Seconds after the college student shows a clenched fist - or a 'rock' - to the three officers, one of whom chose 'scissors' as his option, thereby claiming a victory, the crowd erupts into cheers of joy and celebration, while the victor is left completely speechless with relief.

'I was over the legal drinking age when I went, but we did have a fun story involving the police.

'Several of us were passed out in lawn chairs under the tent for our booth. I was jolted awake by three officers yelling in my face "STEVE! STEVE! ARE YOU STEVE?!" 

'I nearly fell over thoroughly confused, and managed to toss my wallet at them in a hung over attempt to prove they had the wrong guy. They all start laughing and move on to the next guy yelling the same thing until they woke up. 

'There was nobody named Steve, they just got a kick out of waking us up [sic].'

A second user, who goes by the Reddit name Emptyparachute, added: 'This is Chilifest at Texas A&M. This girl is lucky as hell. 

'Every time I hear a story about Chilifest it starts with: "That one time at Chilifest before I got a MIP/PI/etc." [sic]'

The gif, which has now been shared across numerous social media sites, shows the girl shortly after her victory being embraced by a friend, who is, according to the Daily Dot, wearing a T-shirt printed with the logo of sorority Tri Delta.

It is currently not known which station the police officers were from; original reports stated that they were members of the College Station police force, however a spokesperson from the station confirmed to Daily Mail Online that they did not have any officers on duty at the festival.
