IU Police Department officers arrested a student early Saturday morning who, according to the police report, was causing a disturbance, yelling obscenities and spitting on residents of Read Center.\nOfficers responded to the call Saturday at about 2 a.m., said IUPD Lt. Jerry Minger, reading from the police report. He said the complainant gave them a description of the man, but officers ended up leaving the residence hall because they were unable to locate the suspect.\nAccording to the report, as the officers got to their vehicles, they heard a male screaming obscenities repeatedly about a hundred yards away in front of the University West Apartments. Minger said the man was standing with another subject.\nThe officers began to walk in that direction and approached the man who, according to the report, matched the description of the suspect who had been causing a disturbance in Read and spitting on residents. Minger said officers reported his eyes were bloodshot and he smelled of alcohol.\nAccording to the report, the officers asked the suspect to stop as he was walking away. Police said he told them "no" and kept walking before the officers told him to stop, and again, he told them "no" and continued walking. According to the report, they finally stopped him and instructed him to sit down on the ground.\nMinger said the man continued to actively resist them, so they handcuffed him and carried him back to the squad car, restraining his feet while he kicked them.\nThe officers then transported him to Bloomington Hospital. Officers identified the man as Fred Bosse. According to the report, the officers contacted his parents, who told them he is a student at Ivy Tech. Bosse could not be reached by press time for comment.
