WASHINGTON — University of Maryland officials have launched a formal investigation into whether police use of force was appropriate after university officers used pepper spray to disperse a party in College Park early Saturday.
At around 1:45 a.m. police responded to the call for a loud party and a report of a fight in one of the apartments in the 8500 block of Boteler Lane, university officials said in an emailed statement.
University officials said a decision was made to shut down the party after police officers were told that someone may have had a bat. Additional officers were called to assist the group.
At some point, pepper spray was used to disperse the crowd in the hallway. Pepper spray was used a second time in the parking lot.

ReplyDeleteUsing mace to disperse is the best idea...
ReplyDeleteUMD campus police are terrible to deal with. I had a family member who went to that college and they were harassed many times by the police. Not when attending parties, but merely going to class.
