The chair of the Riley County police board says the Riley County Police Department appeared to have more control over Fake Patty’s Day festivities this year.
John Matta, chairman of the Riley County Law Enforcement Agency Board, said Monday on KMAN that he received no complaints from weekend activities.
“I was there at 8 in the morning to do a walkthrough,” he said. “There were maybe a dozen kids in front of Yard Bar. I don’t think they really opened until 9. I know in years past, like in that 2011 period, there’d be people there at 7 a.m. and it would be pretty crowded and stuff. It seemed that was toned down.”
