MANHATTAN — The Riley County Police Department is reporting a slower than normal Fake Patty’s Day this year.
RCPD Captain Richard Fink presented preliminary data from Saturday to Riley County commissioners Monday.
Fink says the number of calls for service (the calls they respond to) was also down this year with 197 calls compared to 353 calls last year. He added that all the data comes from 7 am on Saturday to about 3 am on Sunday.
The primary cause for arrest this year was disorderly conduct. Police made seven disorderly conduct arrests Saturday compared to 16 last year. Fink says the Kansas Highway Patrol issued a majority of the DUI arrests Saturday with their situation patrols. RCPD made eight DUI arrests. KHP made 11 DUI arrests.
Fink says this year police noted several residents throwing house parties had hired their own private security. A full final report will be published by RCPD Wednesday.
