Yes, this now makes two weekends in a row for a humble abode to make my ignoble Party House list. But three or four years ago around this time it was not unusual for 4 or 5 addresses to be in contention for the top spot.

MSP on scene Hobart Lane Saturday afternoon
Many Amherst PD vehicles were stationed around Townhouse Apartments on Meadow Street most of Saturday afternoon, as the east quad area started to fill up, but petered out by 6:00 PM.
Next weekend is the last one prior to UMass graduation so it's a safe bet police will not be taking any chances and will once again be out in force.

Drunk runs (ETOH) to UMass were w-a-y way down over the weekend. But to Amherst College and Hampshire College, not so much:

The kid who DMd you has a point. In most of these cases, the kids walk away without a mark on their record.
AKA:
The legal system even thinks these things aren't such big deal that it should be held against them in the future.
In the grand scheme of things, a loud party isn't the end of the world.
An employer who searches their name and sees this blog impacts them far more than their party impacts the community. Maybe it is time to take a look at publishing their names. They pay for their mistakes through the legal system without a huge lasting impact. It's really not fair for some local blogger to potentially mess up their future.
Well if I were just "some local blogger" I wouldn't have that much Google juice and they would have nothing to worry about, now would they?
Public record. Life sucks and isn't fair. Maybe they can learn that.
Respect the kids request. Take their names down.

Larry, keep it up. Keep what you got. These bags (d) knew full well in hosting this thing the possible ramifications. Lesson learned, kids, ahem, graduates: everything you say and do has possible ramifications. College is not a get out ta jail free card. Welcome to life! By the way, no job for you!
Poor write up by the arresting officer... Names only one, but worse, his description of their discarding "empties" implies it was inside the house, not necessarily impacting VEHICLE traffic. Must have been foot traffic. Hope the kids play that card. Good luck. Oh, and good luck with the job hunt!
What these kids are saying is "what happens in Amherst stays in Amherst", and we the residents should help them in making it so.
The next question is: what was the response of these students if and when their neighbors asked them, in equally respectful fashion, to keep the noise down after a certain hour of the night?

Each Perp had an individual write up by the officer.
I only requested one at the District Court because they charge me $1 per page and I assume the other three are pretty much the same, besides the name of the Perp.
Well, following up on my anon 12:20 comment, thanks for the coverage Larry.
Larry, what you are eventually going to accomplish is getting an even more restrictive CORI law which will then preclude your being able to get information on far more serious crimes and far more heinous perpetrators.
So you prevent these kids from getting jobs -- and they wind up on welfare. Who do you think pays for that -- you and I, and *I* would prefer not to...
What *good* are you trying to do here -- the kids got arrested, isn't that *enough*?
So why aren't you saying that to the Gazette, Republican, Ch 40 or Ch 22?
Tell ya what, if the United States passes a "right to be forgotten" law then I will delete names.
