Twenty cited or arrested Halloween night
Twenty people were cited or arrested on Halloween night.
Mount Pleasant Sgt. Dan Gaffka said the bulk of these arrests were alcohol-related or connected to nuisance parties.
A nuisance gathering is defined as a gathering, party or meeting conducted on or within the city, which results in public alcohol consumption, intoxication, use or possession of any controlled drug or substance, indecent exposure or public urination, the unlawful sale or consumption of alcohol, the unlawful depositing of trash or litter on a public or private property, property damage, traffic obstruction, far-reaching audible noise, public disturbances or violation of fire codes.
Nuisance party violations have increased at all big event weekends at CMU, including Welcome Weekend and Homecoming.
