AFD at Mullins Center 1:30 AM for patient with "altered mental status"
Amherst police and firefighters were kept on the go last night (Friday) into early Saturday morning instigated by warm temperatures, alcohol, and opportunity: That brief luxurious time period just after UMass classes are complete, but finals have not yet started.
And yes, trouble areas were mostly the usual suspects: a few outside unpermited bonfires on Phillips Street (#45 and #51), a loud party at 15/17 Fearing Street, a passed out drunk in front of College Pizza, and of course a DUI.
Around 12:45 AM a patrol car observed a vehicle driving erratically on South Pleasant Street dead in the heart of downtown. He took a right on Northampton Road (Rt 9) with the patrol car in close pursuit, was pulled over and descended on by a swarm of cruisers. The college aged youth flunked his Field Sobriety Test, was arrested and his car towed.

I retraced the trajectory of the vehicle, a potentially deadly weapon, and could not help but notice the downtown was especially active. How many could have been seriously injured if he lost control and plunged into the crowd in front of Antonio's?

Dispatch recieved a call from a young lady around 2:10 AM complaining about a "loud party" at 69 Meadow Street. The Anonymous caller only wanted it "quieted down, but doesn't want anyone to get in trouble."
Party hardy types apparently were not on the same page, as APD arrested two for "disorderly conduct".

20+ UM students blasting music drinking/smoking on the roof of Bueno. Wonder if it was designed to support that kind of load...
What great neighbors they are.
Yeah, I just heard APD dispatched to clear them off again today.
Units are now "in the area".
Responsible party is "Colin" from hometown of Duxbury. 30 Guests. Going to "bring it inside and turn the radio off quick."
It's not just about how much a roof can hold but also about how it's covered. No roof is designed for foot traffic. Many times roofs of this sort are paper rolled and tarred at the seams. The roll they use often bubbles with change of seasons leaving gaps. One step on these gaps causes cracks. Water always finds its way. Eventually you have a premature roof problem due to foot traffic on a roof that was never meant for such traffic. None of the roofs I've seen on this blog were ever designed for foot traffic. One accident on these roofs and no insurance company would easily honor the policy as the roofs intent was never meant for traffic in the first place.
What do you think of the idea of police brutality?
I think it's a bad idea.
