* A man was injured following an incident with a cow at Witter Farm Feb. 20. The man was stepped on several times by a heifer. The man fell down while holding on to the heifer, when the heifer went back on the cattle trailer. When police arrived the ambulance was already there. The lower half of the student worker’s body had been stepped on, including his legs and feet. He was transferred to the hospital and no further information is available.
* There was a brawl outside Oak Hall last Saturday around 11 p.m. When police arrived, the crowd scattered. One student was chased into Hart Hall and questioned about his involvement. He admitted to taking part in the fight, then later changed his story, according to Officer Fizell.
The student and and the officer went to the student’s room in Hart Hall and were about to enter when the student tried to slam the door shut. The officer, who said he thought he was invited inside to talk to the student’s roommate, was already partway through the door. The student then opened the door wide enough to push the officer twice and then ran past him down the hall.
Gregory May, 19, was pounding on walls and doors before he was arrested for assault. Meanwhile, outside, an officer was talking to another man who had been involved in the fight. The man said he was walking past Oak Hall on his way from Hancock Hall when he was taunted with obscenities. He tried to keep going, but a man “jumped” him, pushed his thumb into his eye and threw him in the snow, punching him repeatedly. Police identified the assailant by the accounts of other witnesses and arrested Ryan Gallagher, 19, of South Portland on charges of assault.
* A beer pong game in Somerset Hall attracted the attention of an officer and a Resident Assistant on rounds Feb. 20. They were walking on the second floor around 11:30 p.m. when they heard the sound of a bouncing ping-pong ball. The RA knocked on the door and identified himself. When the door was opened, he and the officer saw 13 people, a 30-pack of Bud Light and a cardboard beer pong table. The officer was invited in, and he found another 30-pack and a backpack containing multiple bottles of beer and hard alcohol. There was a total of 66 cans and bottles of beer, in addition to two bottles of hard liquor.
As a result, the two residents of the room, Charles Bocchino, 19, and Philip Gagnon, 18, and the owner of the backpack, Anna Gleason, 19, were charged with illegal possession of alcohol by a minor. The other 10 occupants were sent to Judicial Affairs.
* There was a vehicle driving on the sidewalk near Jenness Hall around 1 a.m. Feb. 22. The driver bobbed his head when talking to the officer, as if he was about to fall asleep. He said he’d had six beers and failed the sobriety test. His blood alcohol content was .15. The officer also found five cans of beer in the car.
As a result, Kurt Bulwith, 20, was charged with illegal transportation of liquor and operating under the influence.
