Original story
Crowds poured into the streets of the Beaver Canyon area in downtown State College early Friday morning following the Penn State football team’s come-from-behind season-opening road win over unranked Purdue.
Shortly after midnight, the crowd filling the 200 block of East Beaver Avenue drew a police response, as well as a warning from the university to leave the “unlawful disturbance” or be subject to arrest.
“Avoid downtown State College. Crowd on Beaver Ave. is an unlawful disturbance. Leave the area or be subject to arrest,” a message from the Penn State Alert emergency notification system stated.
The road reopened and the university issued an “all-clear” at 1:30 a.m.
It was not immediately clear if any damage or arrests resulted from the incident.
Alpha Fire Police were dispatched to assist law enforcement with the crowd.
