STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Fans who were celebrating UConn’s national championship were causing minor property damage on campus and in Storrs, and several have been arrested.
Campus police 12 people have been arrested there, five of them students. UConn police Maj. Ronald Blicher said early Tuesday that most of the charges involve vandalism and criminal mischief.
He says one car was flipped over and a couple of fires were started in Dumpsters.
At an apartment complex off campus, a couch was set on fire and a car was overturned. State police say a crowd of 200 or so had gathered, and some were throwing bottles at troopers. They were using dogs to disband the crowd.
