This year’s minor in possession citations up from last St. Patrick’s Day

March 20, 2013

Just more than twice as many minor in possession citations than last year were issued on campus this St. Patrick’s Day weekend, according to MSU police.

MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said from March 15-18 there were about 50 minor in possession of alcohol citations issued, up 26 from last year’s St. Patrick’s Day weekend. MSU Clery Crime and Fire Log still is not updated with this number.

She credited this year’s heightened number to a larger number of officers available during the weekend.

“We had a considerable amount (of) more officers,” McGlothian-Taylor said, although she wasn’t aware of the exact difference in officers from year to year.
