The town of Plymouth was rattled Sunday after a series of parties were conducted throughout the usually quiet, peaceful town. As a result of the disturbance, four individuals were arrested.

It started around 3:05 pm, when officers responded to 10 Pleasant St. Plymouth Police arrived on the scene and estimated that around 300 people were in attendance. After discussion with the homeowners, officers law-fully told the students to leave, as they were not welcome on the property.

The crowd then moved to Winter Street, where they remained and continued to unlawfully gather. Plymouth Police called for additional units from the New Hampshire State Police, New Hampshire Fish and Game, as well as officers from the neighboring towns of Holderness, Campton, Ashland, and Bristol to assist in crowd control.

Around 4:55pm, police used a loud speaker to tell students to lawfully disperse and leave the scene. By 5:05 pm, police had regained control of the street. It is unclear whether or not there was any property damage during the unlawful assembly.

During the assembly, four men were arrested in connection with the partying. Those arrested age’s range from 22-26, and at least two are Plymouth State students. They face a variety of charges including disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and simple assault on a police officer.

All individuals that were arrested in Sunday’s partying are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Plymouth Police also made it aware to the public that photographs were taken of individuals engaging in unlawful or illegal acts and the photographs will be used to identify those suspects and arrest warrants will be issued in the future.
