Indiana excise police arrested or cited 45 people over the weekend, more than during this month’s Homecoming celebrations.
Officers arrested or cited 28 people Saturday night while patrolling the area around campus, according to a press release. Charges included illegal possession and consumption of alcohol, illegal transportation of alcohol, drug related offenses and various traffic violations.
Many of those cited were not arrested, but instead issued summons to appear in Muncie City Court.
Officers arrested Danny Songer, 22, Muncie, on a preliminary felony charge of intimidation of law enforcement and the preliminary misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and public intoxication, and police took him to Delaware County Jail.
Police arrested Songer late Friday night at the intersection of Linden and Carson streets where police allege he was holding a bottle of vodka and shouting obscenities directed at officers. Excise police said he was still shouting obscenities when police approached him from behind, according to the statement.
Police said Songer threatened to harm the arresting officer and his family once he was released from jail.
Police issued an additional 18 summons at tailgating for Saturday’s football game against Akron. Seventeen people were issued citations for illegal possession and one person was also issued a citation for possession of false identification.
