East Connecticut State University Stumbler Party 'Goes Sideways,' Leads To Numerous Arrests
WILLIMANTIC — At least nine Eastern Connecticut State University students were arrested Saturday following dozens of complaints linked to the school's annual "Stumbler," an unsanctioned off-campus drinking celebration.
Police responded to 11 complaints about house parties and nearly two dozen other calls related to large groups of people obstructing traffic or creating other disturbances, said police Cpl. Stanley Parizo Jr.
In addition to those taken into custody, city police issued 16 infractions for what Parizo described as "belligerent behavior and other alcohol-related offenses."
Police encountered groups numbering in excess of 100 people, and at one point, open cans of beer were thrown at officers, Parizo said. No officers were injured.
