State police in Butler arrested multiple young people at a large party at a Slippery Rock University apartment complex after they allegedly interfered with the work of first responders.
A news release from Troop D barracks in Butler said troopers responded to the University Village at Slippery Rock apartments at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, March 4, for a report of a male who was unconscious, possibly due to intoxication.
Troopers were advised of a “large gathering” at the apartment complex and that some attending the gathering were uncooperative with emergency medical personnel attempting to “provide life-saving care to an unconscious male,” according to the release.
