ABC News is reporting that 75 officers from the University of Delaware PD, New Castle County PD and the Delaware State Police were called in Monday night to control several thousand students who damaged property and cars as they ran through the streets. The event, which is similar to a flash mob, was prompted by postings on Twitter. Two students were arrested.
I’m Shmacked has already had events at West Virginia University and West Chester University, and an event is planned for Penn State next week.
