A Brawl at the Village
At midnight on Jan. 20, Officer Mason, along with three other officers, were called to University Village regarding a fight. A resident of the building explained to authorities that an intoxicated male began knocking and kicking at his apartment door, as well as the door across the hallway. The intoxicated male began to force his way through the resident’s door. The aggressor then began to punch and scratch the resident, leaving bruises and marks on the resident’s body. The aggressor told authorities that he had been drinking at a friend’s apartment and was trying to find his way back to the party. The attacker was then placed under arrest for simple battery, disorderly conduct and underage possession of alcohol.
Armed and Disorderly
Authorities were called to Poplar Place on the night of Jan. 27. An armed subject was reportedly making threats of harming others using a knife. Sgt. Boughner entered an apartment and was directed to the bathroom by the armed subject’s friend. The armed subject refused to come out of the bathroom. When Sgt. Boughner threatened to use his Taser the subject walked out of the bathroom, allowing Sgt. Boughner to conduct a pat search. The subject was turned over to authorities, and the knife was later found on the bathroom counter.
Underage, Under the Influence
On the night of Jan. 27, Officer Altman spotted a male student assisting a visibly intoxicated female student towards the University Village. The female student reeked of alcohol and could not stand on her own. Officer Altman called an ambulance and the female student was placed on a stretcher and taken to Kennestone Hospital. The male student insisted that his friend only drank two vodka and orange juice mixtures. He and the female student were later issued citations for underage possession by consumption.
