STATE POLICE ENCOUNTER VIOLATIONS

IN & AROUND CAMPUS

                                                                                 

   The University of Connecticut spring time events in the past have produced massive volumes of students and visitors that have resulted in tragedies, arrests and other violations that have marred the unofficial, non-sanctioned, university event.

   Connecticut State Police, working with UConn PD, began a visibility and enforcement campaign in and around the University of Connecticut campus. Troopers set up sobriety checkpoints at several locations which encountered a significant number of vehicles with violations.  In addition, Troopers also encountered underage people in possession of alcohol, reckless use of the roadways by pedestrians and other potential injury-causing issues and violations.

   The following enforcement action was taken by Troopers during evening #1 of this campaign that resulted in tickets being issued to violators, vehicles being towed, and custody arrests.
