Minneapolis police ticketed seven University students at two fraternities for having disruptive parties this weekend.
Officers responded to reports that members of the Theta Tau Fraternity at 515 10th Ave. S.E. were selling alcohol to underage drinkers Friday night, according to police reports. Police cited six fraternity members between 21 and 23 years old for the rowdy gathering.
No party-goers, however, received underage-drinking tickets. The “elaborate multikeg, beer-dispensing system” was inventoried by the officers, according to the police report.
Police estimated that 150 to 200 people attended the fraternity party. According to the report, several attendees appeared to be less than 21 years old, but the officer only identified one underage party-goer.
A 22-year-old University student hosting a disruptive party at the Triangle Fraternity house was ticketed by Minneapolis police Saturday night. The student resides at the fraternity, located at 1112 Sixth St. S.E.
According to police reports, neighbors notified authorities after noise from the party reached a disturbing level. The 22-year-old fraternity member ticketed by police was uncooperative in dispersing the party, the report stated.
“You are holding my property hostage,” the student said when asked for his assistance in clearing the party, according to the report.
Fraternity members could not be reached for comment.
