CRIME BRIEFS

Students charged after concert

At 11:10 p.m. March 19, during the George Clinton concert in Page Auditorium, a group of concert goers were asked to move away from a railing at the front for safety reasons. An individual, with a strong odor of alcohol, was ignoring this request, and had to be momentarily removed from the concert in order to explain the reason for the request. His sister, who appeared to be intoxicated--she was unable to maintain her balance--observed him being momentarily taken from the concert.

Police reported that she became irate and belligerent toward the officer. The officer asked her to step away, but she would not comply. She attempted to swing her fist at the officer, resulting in her shoving him in the chest. When the brother observed his sister being escorted from the building, he attempted to interfere.

Jenna Marie Turner, a 21-year-old senior, of 206 Oregon St., was charged with simple assault on an officer, resist, delay and obstruct and being drunk and disruptive. She was given an April 23 court date. She could not be reached for comment.
