Hullabaloo at Sigma Nu
Police received a report that there may be a large gathering at the Sigma Nu fraternity house at 11:45 p.m. Feb. 20. Officers drove to the house and observed several taxis dropping people off. As officers drew near, they heard loud music and the sound of a large group coming from inside. They spoke with the house advisor in charge for the night, Jarrod Dyke, 22, and told him they were concerned about underage drinking. Dyke assured them only a few people were at the house and everything was fine. The officers left. At 1 a.m., police received an anonymous call reporting a female screaming on the second floor of Sigma Nu’s house and expressed worry that she needed help. Officers responded and told Dyke they needed to enter the house to assist the female. As they searched the house, they noted a strong odor of alcohol. People were moving away from the officers and going into individual rooms. An officer turned a corner and found Timothy Fortin, 20, Madison, holding a can of Bud Light and issued him a summons for possession of alcohol by a minor. They were unable to find the female. Soon after police left, they received another noise complaint and determined it to be the noise of the party breaking up and people leaving Sigma Nu. Dyke was issued a summons for furnishing a place for minors to consume alcohol at 9 p.m. Feb. 21.
