TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - A big weekend of Homecoming festivities at Indiana State University, and Indiana Excise Police continue their crackdown on unsafe drinking.
It's part of a program called ICE, which stands for Intensified College Enforcement.
Additional excise officers are on six campuses statewide this year. The extra enforcement is part of an effort to stop the increase trend of underage drinking statewide.
"We want students to know that if you're out drinking, going to a liquor store, or you're an adult buying alcohol for a minor at a liquor store, or anything like that, that potentially excise police will be out and you may get arrested or get a ticket for that,” Corporal Travis Thickstun of the Indiana Excise Police explained.
The officers spent the last two weekends around the ISU campus, and arrested more than 50 people.
