As the Florida Gators brought the pain to the South Carolina Gamecocks during Saturday’s football game, police laid down the law with ejections and arrests.
For the second game in a row, the number of people ejected from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium crept into the triple digits.
University Police kicked out 106 people, 38 of whom were UF students, according to a UPD news release.
Officers made the majority of ejections for alcohol possession, public intoxication, standing on seats or smoking. They issued 30 civil citations.
Police removed one person from the stadium for fighting and another for theft. Officers also arrested three UF students and nine other attendees.
The arrests were mainly for disorderly conduct, trespassing or alcohol possession. Police issued five notices to appear in court for alcohol possession.
The total number of ejections and arrests from Saturday’s game increased slightly following the UF-Louisiana State University matchup on Oct. 6. During that game, police ejected 108 people and arrested an additional six.
The next home game is Nov. 3.
