Carbondale Police say they arrested 32 people on the Strip over the weekend on charges ranging from indecent exposure to underage possession, but it is unknown how many of those arrested are SIUC students.

Thirteen people were arrested for public possession of alcohol, 12 for underage possession of alcohol, one for a fireworks complaint, one for aggravated battery, one for indecent exposure, two for fight by agreement, one for bar-age restriction and one for resisting/obstructing a police officer.

No property damage was reported when crowds gathered onto the 500 block of South Illinois Avenue Friday and Saturday, forcing police to re-direct traffic for about an hour.
