A noise complaint was reported on E. 4th Street for the second time during the evening. When the officer arrived this time, the party had grown in the last hour and was significantly louder. Police spoke again with the man at the residence and told him to shut the party down and start sending people home. The man walked into the house and instructed people to leave, but after several minutes, only a few people had left. Police walked up onto the porch to tell everyone that the party was over, and they were confronted by several people (clearly intoxicated) demanding a warrant before they entered the house. Instead of arguing, the police simply yelled for everyone to go home, at which point people actually began leaving. Several cars had used the parking lot of New City Fellowship (approximately one block west) for parking, and after people left the house, they gathered in that parking lot. Police again gave commands to disperse, using voice as well as lights and siren. Police spoke with the man again and explained that this was the second time in one night, and at least the second night that police had been called to his house for a nuisance. The man provided the names of two men as his only roommates, and said they were UTC students. The man agreed to keep the household from becoming any further nuisance.
