The UW-Madison Police Department saw a slight increase in the number of underage alcohol citations during Saturday’s homecoming football game against Maryland, according to a UWPD report.
UWPD issued 21 underage drinking citations Saturday as compared to the 18 given at the last home game against Illinois, Oct. 11.
Police also gave citations for obstructing or resisting arrest as well as disorderly conduct, both of which were not issued at the Illinois game.
UWPD ejected 42 people from the stadium and wrote 24 citations. Nineteen of the ejections and 15 of the citations involved UW-Madison students. The Illinois game saw 39 ejections.
In total, paramedics were called 10 times, two ambulances were summoned and four people were sent to detox.
The highest blood alcohol content recorded decreased to 0.279 this week from last game’s 0.292.
