Top story for November 25, 2008: UO students, Eugene police differ on damage to party house in weekend incident, reports the Register-Guard
Residents say police unnecessarily damaged party house (Register-Guard): A large and loud campus party Saturday that Eugene police say got out of control as it ran into Sunday morning resulted in four arrests and 47 citations. But residents of the student cooperative where the party occurred said police unnecessarily broke down nine doors inside the house looking for kegs of beer. Eugene police Sgt. Rich Stronach said officers had to break through only one door at the Campbell Club, 1670 Alder St., sometime after 3 a.m. to seize five kegs of beer because of state liquor law violations. Jason Ellis, a resident of the house and a University of Oregon student, said police broke through the locked doors even though residents offered to unlock them.
