Wild college party ends with tear gas

Police used tear gas to disperse a massive crowd partying near the Michigan State University campus after fights broke out and officers were pelted with bottles and cans.

Police said in a statement that 3,000 to 4,000 people had gathered for the Cedar Fest party late Saturday. Fifty-two people were arrested and 48 others were ticketed for various offenses.

Four small fires were reported, windows were smashed on two police cars, and some officers and partygoers suffered minor injuries. About 80 officers from various jurisdictions worked to contain the crowd.
