hoto lit the week Arrest at Ivy Hall Police arrested a 20-year-old male university student at the Ivy Hall apartments at 400 Wollaston Ave. early Wednesday morning. . Cpl. Gerald Bryda, of the Newark police, said at approximately 12:45 a.m. police responded to call about a large fight taking place in the Ivy flail courtyard area. When police arrived at the scene, the courtyard was empty but police noticed a loud and disorderly group of people filling the hallway of the D building. Upon entering, police saw several hundred people occupying the building and traced the com­ motion to two parties, Bryda said. Residents of apart­ ments D 1 and D2 were issued summ~nses for noise violations. After clearing the building, police said a large group of people formed in the courtyard. An uniden­ tified man approached officers and pointed out the individual who was allegedly responsible for fights that occurred earlier. Bryda said police questioned the man, finding him to be intoxicated and arrested him for underage alcohol consumption.
