ISLA VISTA, Calif., April 6 (UPI) -- Deltopia, an annual street party in Isla Vista, California, turned unruly and violent on Saturday with dozens hurt and more than 100 people arrested. Deltopia -- constrained this year by a strict noise ordinance -- is popular with students from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and other local colleges.
Prior to the melee, local police had already arrested 56 people and issued 49 citations. At least 44 people were hospitalized for injuries and illness -- several of them for alcohol poisoning.
