Police, university speak on UD incidents over the weekend
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Law enforcement and the University of Dayton are sharing more details into the multiple incidents that unfurled over the weekend. On Saturday, March 8, police were called to break up several crowds which led to multiple arrests during St. Patrick's Day celebrations. As investigation continues, officials are sharing more information into what exactly happened. Dayton police and UD leaders confirm there were two separate incidents that occurred on Saturday. One occurred on Lowes Street, where first responders received around 44 medical emergency calls. When attempting to get through the crowd was impossible, police were called to disperse the crowd. 'There was not one incident that precipitated the decision to clear the street; instead it was multiple factors, including shifting crowd dynamics, increased medical emergencies, and safety concerns for the crowd and first responders,' said Savalas Kidd, assistant vice president and chief of police at UD. UD student speaks on Saturday's early St. Paddy's party Police say some attendees resorted to throwing bottles and other items at officers. At least five people were arrested. There were around 18 hospital transports reported on Saturday in the Lowes Street area. The road was cleared by 5 p.m., where it remained closed for the rest of the evening. Later that evening, DPD also responded to a report of a large crowd and shots being fired on Brown Street. Officials confirm no one was actually shot, but an officer was injured while attempting to go after a suspect. The 22-year-old male suspect attempted to flee several times, but was eventually apprehended. He was transported to Montgomery County Jail where he is now facing several charges including Having Weapons while Under Disability, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Receiving Stolen Property (firearm), Obstructing Official Business, and Resisting Arrest. Several roads were shut down while police attempted to gain control of the situation and then investigate. Roads were reopened around 11:30 p.m. University officials say there were a total of 12 arrests on campus and in the student neighborhoods on Saturday. UD says out of those 12, only four are registered students of UD. The University of Dayton released a statement Monday on the incidents, saying in part, 'As we remain dedicated to the safety and wellbeing of our campus community, University leadership will meet with our city of Dayton partners to review what happened Saturday and strategies to possibly mitigate future events.' UD says the students that were involved in the incidents will be held accountable at the university level and to the law. Investigation is ongoing. 2 NEWS will update as we learn more.

UD student speaks on Saturday's early St. Paddy's party
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – A University of Dayton student spoke about what he witnessed at Saturday's street party, specifically on Lowes Street. At 10 p.m. the school released an alert regarding shots fired on Jasper Street. No injuries were reported. Multiple medics were called to neighborhoods filled with student housing on Saturday. There were five arrests made. Shots-fired alert ends busy day at UD that already had tear gas, arrests, hospital trips Nick Mulvihill, a finance major and senior at UD spoke to our 2 News team. Mulvihill lives on Lowes and has experienced the pre- St. Paddy's parties over the last four years. 'Obviously, it's a Dayton tradition. I've seen love doing the whole Forties at Four and coming out here with you know, 10,000 undergrads basically,' said Mulvihill. (Forties at Four is a drinking game in which a person tries to drink a 40-ounce bottle of beer/malt at 4 p.m.) He continued, explaining what the day was like for him. He mentioned that he got to pet police horses. 'Living on the street that the day drink happens, you know, a ton of fun. But yeah, once the police started shooting pepper spray and all the pepper balls, but that's when I kind of got out of hand,' said Mulvihill. 'But really – I enjoy the police trying their best to prevent a lot of the dangers from happening. In past years, we've had, you know, cars being flipped.' He said he was thankful for and appreciated the police but found some of their orders confusing. 'I appreciate them for, you know, trying to prevent that. But once they start shooting pepper spray into a couple of our friend's houses and then they tell us to go inside, that's when it gets a little problematic. 'cause like, hey, where do we go, my whole house is pepper sprayed?' He spoke more on when it got 'real' between the students and the cops. 'I was in the second floor of my house just watching everything happen. And them basically chasing down Dayton students and students in general. I thought that was pretty confusing. I was, you know, really just worried for everyone's safety,' said Mulvihill. His suggestions for next year included keeping the mounted police and the street shut down. He shared thoughts of finding safer ways of dispersing crowds. 2 News has reached out to UD Police for comment but hasn't heard back. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
