A large snowball fight in South Neighborhood caused about $100 in damage Wednesday, according to MSU police.
MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said about 50 people were having a snowball fight in the neighborhood courtyard near South Wonders and Case Hall between 12:30 a.m. and 1 a.m. Wednesday when a particularly strong throw sent a snowball smashing through a South Wonders Hall window.
An 18-year-old male student sitting near the window in his dorm room received a small scratch on his leg from the shattering glass. He declined medical attention and said he believed the incident was an accident.
Shortly after the student called in the damage, police were called to the scene again by a complainant because the snowball fight had grown to about 100 people.
McGlothian-Taylor said there were no suspects in the window-breaking incident because the snowball fighters fled when they saw police approaching.
