Students arrested for disorderly conduct

Three male University students were apprehended by University police for underaged drinking late Saturday night, Lieutenant Susan Holmes said last night. Staff members from the WaWa on 36th and Chestnut streets and King's Court residents called the police and complained about the students' disorderly conduct, Holmes said. The intoxicated students smashed bottles and jumped on a car in a parking lot at 36th and Walnut streets, Holmes said. When the police arrived at the scene, they asked the students to show identification. The three refused at first, then one showed false identification, Holmes added. The students were questioned at the police station then the case was sent to the Judicial Inquiry Office for disciplinary action. In an unrelated incident early Saturday morning, a female University student, whom University Police Commissioner John Kuprevich said was distraught due to alcohol consumption, called University police for assistance. Police arrived at her residence in the 4300 block of Pine Street and sent her to the emergency room of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Holmes said. Police listed the incident as an attempted suicide, but Kuprevich said that is not an accurate description of the case. "She was just someone who needed someone to talk to," Commisioner John Kuprevich said. "Someone who just needed a friend." The commissioner added that he wants the listing to be changed. In another unrelated incident early Friday morning, a graduate student on the fourth floor of Williams Hall was robbed at knife point by two males, Holmes said. The assailants demanded cash and pulled out a kitchen knife, and the student gave them $2.50. The two men fled the scene after they got the money, Holmes said. No arrests were made.
