ATHENS, Ohio, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- A total of 112 people were cited or arrested by authorities in Athens, Ohio, during the city's annual Halloween street party, city officials said.

The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch said police and state liquor agents picked the offenders out of a large crowd of holiday revelers, primarily Ohio University students, during the celebration Saturday night and early Sunday morning.

The 61 people nabbed by the Ohio Department of Public Safety's Investigative Unit were cited for alcohol-related offenses. City police meanwhile arrested 51 people on various charges.

The arrests and citations during the weekend followed 19 arrests and 51 citations during Friday night's revelry, the Dispatch reported.

The weekend's activities also resulted in 45 people seeking medical treatment for minor injuries or over consumption of alcohol.
