The Jan. 18
Minnesota Daily reports an alleged assault on a paramedic by a member of Chi Psi fraternity. (The article in the police report section has the sub-heading “Assault at The Lodge.”) It’s been mentioned a few times before on GC – it’s not a good idea to forcibly resist or assault police, firefighters or paramedics, no matter how much fun it might seem like at the time.

Excerpts from article:
. . . According to the police report, officers and emergency medical services responded to a call at the fraternity shortly before 2 a.m. for an unconscious female.
While on the scene, a member of the fraternity assaulted one of the paramedics, police said.
Attacking a police officer, paramedic or firefighter elevates a simple assault to fourth-degree assault, a felony.
. . . a fraternity member not involved in the incident, said the fraternity is working with police and the University to rectify the situation. . . .
Interfraternity Council President Alec Catsuros said a judicial board hearing will be held Wednesday . . . .
