Ball State University Police Department made two arrests during Thanksgiving Break, both of which involved alcohol.
A 21-year-old Muncie resident was arrested just before 3 a.m. on Nov. 29 for public intoxication. UPD officers responded to a fight on West University Avenue, and the man was taken into custody after officers determined he was intoxicated.
Also early Nov. 29, UPD officers arrested a second Muncie resident just after 3 a.m. near the intersection of North Light Street and West Ashland Avenue. Thirty-year-old Nicholas Bennett was charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated after he failed a field sobriety test administered by UPD Officer Wendel Jaggers.
UPD also received two calls of break-ins near campus. On Nov. 25, a home burglary was reported early around W. Gilbert Street. A vehicle burglary was also reported on W. University Ave. around 10 a.m. on Nov. 27.
UPD continues to encourage students living off campus to lock doors to their vehicles and homes whenever away, university spokeswoman Joan Todd said. If a break-in or burglary occurs, call UPD at 765-285-1111.
