Five arrested, nine more cited during Big Chill at the Big House
Police arrested five people during today's "Big Chill at the Big House" hockey game at Michigan Stadium between the University of Michigan and Michigan State University.
U-M police spokeswoman Diane Brown said two people were arrested for assault and battery, while three were arrested for being a minor in possession of alcohol. In addition, nine people were issued citations for possessing alcohol inside the stadium.
Beyond those, police ejected an additional 16 people — 12 for disorderly conduct, three for possession of alcohol, and one for illegally selling tickets.
Emergency medical crews treated 38 people, including 11 who were taken to the hospital for additonal treatment. Most of the medical issues were alcohol-related, Brown said.

My husband was there - said a guy in front of him was so drunk he could barely sit upright and at one point was undoing his pants, looked as though he was attempting to pee in a bottle or something - and a woman, not with the man, began beating on him and telling him to stop because there were children around, etc. That's why the police need to be around, unfortunately, for the few losers who just can't handle their liquor! I'm not sorry I missed out on that...

Loose the police ticketing NOW! I don't understand why the sherifs want to ticket like this. Got to be because of the money.

What about the people walking the railroad tracks? We saw people on the tracks before the game..... oh wait...I forgot...it is only a crime to walk the tracks in the month of August and only if you are a resident of AA....people attending sporting events have a different set of rules.
