University of Wisconsin-Madison student arrests and citations at the Badger football game Saturday nearly doubled from the Aug. 31 game, according to a UW-Madison Police Department report.
UWPD issued 24 citations to UW-Madison students at Saturday’s game against Tennessee Technological University, which was up from 13 citations in last week’s game against the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Additionally, 23 UW-Madison students were arrested Aug. 7, up from 11 the previous week.
UWPD officers also ejected 38 students during the game, up from 20 ejections last week. Additionally, three students were taken to detox in the Tennessee Tech game. No students were transported to detox from the Aug. 31 game against UMass.
Additionally, heat-related issues at Saturday’s game were much higher than last week’s game, according to UWPD Spokesperson Marc Lovicott.
“We were getting calls non-stop from folks who were having heat issues, so that was definitely a concern,” Lovicott said.
