Campus police arrested a student for public intoxication after responding to a disturbance in Tech Village on April 8, according to a police report. 

Tucker Eckenrode, 19, has been charged with public intoxication and underage consumption of alcohol, according to the report.

Sgt. David Harris requested back-up after hearing a disturbance coming from Tech Village while he was re-fueling his squad car, according to the report.
