Thirty-four people were arrested on the University of Massachusetts campus last night in a disturbance late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning following the Boston Red Sox victory over the New York Yankees in Game Six of the American League Championship Series, according to University officials.
UMass Police Chief Barbara OíConnor said a little over one hundred officers were present in Southwest to disperse the crowd of 2,000 that gathered in the Southwest pyramids after the game ended. 44 state troopers, and 10 Amherst officers aided UMass police. Three police horses and a K-9 dog, Max, were also used. The larger police presence allowed officers to make more arrests, and bring some relief to OíConnorís staff, who have been working long hours.
ìThere have been aggressive pockets of resistance spreading too far out for our department to handle on its own,î she said.
Students threw rolls of toilet paper, set off fireworks into the crowd, and started a small fire. The arrests made were mostly for failure to disperse and disorderly conduct, said OíConnor. Police used a P.A. system to give the dispersal order, and pepper balls and smoke to disperse the crowd.
The disturbance was the third the campus has experienced this week. OíConnor said that the main problem is students failing to disperse after repeated orders, remaining behind to taunt and throw things at the officers.
ìSome people are clearly looking to fight with police,î she said.
ìThe best way for us to send a clear message is to arrest them, and for the University to follow up with disciplinary action.î
