DeKalb police ticket over 70 partyers
August 24, 2003
No fewer than 70 citations, including open container violations and possession and consumption of alcohol by minors, were issued by DeKalb police between Thursday night and Sunday morning in the Greek Row area.
Official numbers for the weekend were not available by press time.
Matt Harrison, a freshman computer science major was among those cited Thursday night.
He said as he and his group stepped out onto the sidewalk after leaving a party, they were approached by two undercover officers.
Harrison described one officer as wearing a pink shirt with khaki pants, while the other had a camouflage fisherman’s hat on.
Richard Armour, a freshman computer science major, also was cited for having an open container in a public way.
Armour said he was approached by a man who turned out to be an undercover cop “dressed like an ’80s guy.”
Both men said they were carrying beer cans when the officers approached them.
