BLOOMINGTON — Law enforcement officials said Fool’s Fest did not generate any problems outside of what is usually seen on weekend nights in the Twin Cities.

Arrests were up in downtown Bloomington on Friday, but police said that had more to do with the increased police presence than any problems from the much-hyped party, which began as a social media campaign by Illinois State University students wanting to have a large campus party this weekend.

As of 10:30 p.m. Saturday, Bloomington and Normal police reported nothing out of the ordinary.

“The downtown area was very busy, but for the most part everything stayed under control,” said Bob Wall, assistant chief for the Bloomington Police Department.

His department responded to two minor fights Friday and handed out 25 ordinance violations, up from an average of 10 violations on a typical Friday, Wall said.

“That’s probably because we had 12 officers on duty instead of the usual four. There wasn’t any activity we wouldn’t normally encounter on a Friday night,” Wall said of the spike in violations.

Wall also complimented bar owners for being proactive, saying they paid close attention to occupancy levels.
