From WTVR news:
Richmond police broke up a graduation party of over 150 people Saturday night, after neighbors say the party was getting out of control.
No one was arrested and no damage was reported, but as graduation week approaches for several local colleges and universities, some police departments are focused on keeping parties orderly.
VCU Police Chief John Venuti told CBS 6 his force increases the number of officers on-duty at certain points in the year, including the weeks close to graduation.
“I think if you’re throwing a party, it’s got to be your responsibility to keep people in check,” said Isaiah, who lives in Oregon Hill where the graduation party was held. “That’s just the way it is and sometimes people lose sight of that.”
