One man was arrested after he allegedly set fire to an object in the roadway on River Street. As he was placed into custody, a small crowd gathered and heckled police.

Patrons threw bottles into the roadway along Beal Street. By 11:30 p.m., a portion of the street near Michigan Avenue was sparkling with glass fragments.

No unlawful assemblies were reported, and by 11 p.m. crowds were thinning at Cedar Village as patrons and police alike began filtering out after the mattress fire was extinguished.

Several additional fires and other incidents were reported Thursday evening. As of midnight, the volume of calls for service to East Lansing police had decreased considerably, but police continued to field reports of burning couches in roadways and other incidents.
