Campus Police arrested eight people Saturday during the game and in tailgating areas surrounding Carter-Finley, which Capt. Jon Barnwell said was typical for a game against a rival like ECU.

According to Barnwell, 62 people were involved in activities where police had to give some sort of citation or refer them to the Office of Student Conduct, and most were related to alcohol use.

“We had approximately 14 students either issued a citation or referred to the University Office of Student Conduct,” he said.

Most of the alcohol consumption problems were from underage drinkers, but Barnwell said one student referred to Student Conduct was of age.

“Through his high levels of intoxication, we wanted him to be seen by Student Conduct as well,” he said.

Behavior issues are usually heightened during big rival games, Barnwell said, and since the Wolfpack won, some students wanted to celebrate on the field.

“We had two individuals arrested for coming onto the field,” he said.

Overall, Barnwell said students were understanding.

“We appreciate students understanding safety issues in regards to coming on field,” he said. “Coming on the field, you are subject to arrest based on second-degree criminal trespassing.”

With long lines for portable restrooms, some students were instead using wooded areas nearby tailgating zones, and Barnwell said there were some referrals for public urination.
