State police are preparing for the IUPatty’s unsanctioned celebration that is expected this weekend.
Their detail will start tomorrow and run through Sunday. Troopers will be joined by surrounding stations in Troop A, the Mounted Patrol Unit, the state Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement and additional department resources. Troopers will actively patrol neighborhoods and highways to promptly respond to any criminal activity and traffic violations.
As the mounted unit will be deployed, troopers remind everyone that it “unlawful for a person to intentionally or knowingly taunt, torment, tease, beat, kick or strike a police animal.” Doing so is a third-degree felony.
Troopers also encourage anyone to call 911 if they see suspicious activity.
