A Raleigh police spokesman says many of the citations were forequipment violations, having a light out or failing to changeaddresses on licenses. Eight were misdemeanor drug violations.
Of the 234 charged, 24 were arrested. Half were N.C. Statestudents, and 12 were charged with being drunk.
Police say they're not yet declaring the party dead. Next year,officers will read Web sites, examine fliers and chat with studentsto help determine how much manpower Brent Road will require.
