One IU student was arrested early Wednesday morning after discarded alcohol containers and oranges were thrown at a campus building, IU Police Department reported.\nAt 2:09 a.m. officers were called to the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology, 423 N. Fess Ave., after a caller stated he heard a loud bang from inside the building and noticed men throwing objects at the glass doors of the lab, said IUPD Sgt. Rebecca Lucas, reading from a police report.\nOnce there, officers found beer cans, plastic cups and orange peels in front of the lab as well as on the east side of the building, Lucas said.\nThe complainant said men were throwing the objects off of the balcony of an apartment across the street and directed police to the location, Lucas said.\nWhen Officer Ryan Corbett knocked on the front door, Officer Scott Dunning noticed Tyler B. Justice attempting to climb out the back window of the apartment. Dunning initially struggled with Justice, finally arresting him for resisting law enforcement, Lucas said. Justice was taken to Monroe County Jail.\nIU student Keith Blake, Justice and an unidentified person were deemed responsible for throwing the objects and officers forced them to clean up the mess.\nIn addition, Justice, Blake and Leah Thornburg were cited for illegal consumption.
