University Police to investigate campus fight
A dance last weekend in Reynolds Gymnasium ended early after police officers were called to break up fights among some people attending the event, according to University Police chief Regina Lawson.
Approximately 200 people, including students from other universities, attended the dance sponsored by a campus organization.
The first fight occurred just minutes after midnight April 18 between a couple of individuals. Within minutes, a few other fights started. Each case involved two or three people.
In one case, university officers found it necessary to use pepper spray to stop fighting among two or three people, Lawson said.
No one requested treatment for the spray, although campus emergency medical technicians were called by police to the scene in case treatment was required.
No one was arrested for fighting. Lawson said that, in every case, those involved in the incidents disappeared into the crowd before their identities were learned by officers.
University Police officers, assisted by Winston-Salem Police officers, closed the party and dispersed the crowd without further problems, Lawson said.
The organization sponsoring the program cooperated with police in quickly concluding the event, she added.
No one at the dance reported to police that they were injured.
