Police Write Up 20 Disorderly House Parties on LepreCon

The amount of city summonses written on LepreCon was down this year, according to the city of Hoboken.

Whereas last year the city issued 92 summonses, this year there were 82 reported violations, according to numbers provided by City Spokesman Juan Melli.

Of those tickets, the majority went to disorderly house parties. Twenty house parties were cited for being too loud or disorderly. Last year, 22 summonses were issued for disorderly house parties.

Hoboken police wrote up five people for drinking in public — last year there were 19 — and nine for an open container, down from last year's 16. 

Seventeen people were fined for urinating in public this year. Two men were seen urinating against City Hall on Saturday afternoon. This number is up from last year, when eight people were fined for public urination.

Police wrote up nine people for disorderly conduct, a small drop from last year's 11.

The numbers are much lower than during the 2011 St. Patrick's Day, which was the last time Hoboken held the parade on the first Saturday in March. In 2011, there were 292 violations — 115 for open containers, 59 for public urination, 32 for drinking in public, 40 for disorderly house parties and 26 for disorderly conduct.
