At 1:45 a.m. Feb. 1, Oxford Police reported a male falling down on the sidewalk on West High Street.
Upon speaking to the male, officers reported that he apparently fell on the ice and received a laceration on his forehead.
While waiting for paramedics, police identified the male as Miami University sophomore Taylor Hopkins, 19.

When asked whether he had anything to drink that evening, Hopkins allegedly said he did. After refusing care at McCullough Hyde Hospital, Hopkins was cited for underage intoxication.
Resistance to Oxford police results in multiple citations
Oxford police were dispatched at 2:15 a.m. Saturday morning to 201 South Main St. regarding an unwanted male on the property.
Once on scene, officers reported a male screaming and yelling obscenities on the porch of the residence. He then allegedly tried to gain entrance into the house.
As on-lookers told the male to calm down, officers instructed him to put his hands on the wall. The male's pants were reportedly wet and he was covered in dirt.
As officers were retrieving the male's wallet, he reportedly reached back to pull it out of his back pocket and tried to turn around. He was then identified as Miami junior Brian Hatterick.
When speaking to the residents of the house, officers reported that Hatterick was attending a party earlier in the evening when he became belligerent.
The resident reported that when Hatterick began urinating on the walls and furniture, they asked him to leave the residence.
He reportedly became belligerent with residents when officers arrived.
After continual resistance, officers took Hatterick to the Butler County Jail. He was cited with obstruction of official business and disorderly conduct.
