EVANSTON — Several Northwestern students living on Foster Street filed noise complaints against married couple Larry and Barbara O’Halloran on Saturday night, Evanston Police Department reports. Mr. and Mrs. O’Halloran, both 52, were reportedly hosting their bi-weekly Jenga tournament when things got “blatantly out of hand,” in the words of Evanston Police Department chief Richard Eddington.

One of the students, Brian Ferguson, WCAS ’17, was visibly perturbed as he described the situation. “I was just trying to enjoy my Saturday night with a warm cup of tea and a crossword puzzle, but their raucous laughter and blaring Freddie Mercury album on repeat were shaking my walls.” Ferguson politely waited until his scheduled bedtime at 12:05 a.m. before calling the authorities, but the party “just wouldn’t stop.”

By 12:30 a.m., Evanston Police had reportedly received eight noise complaints from around the neighborhood. Another student who filed a complaint, Summer Jacobs, SoC ’16, was furious at the frenzied partiers. “Don’t they know that they live right next to a college campus? We work hard during the week and just want to get some rest on the weekends. It’s so inconsiderate.”

Evanston Police arrived on the scene at 12:46 a.m. and were accosted by a clearly intoxicated and combative Mr. O’Halloran at the door, who refused to call off his Jenga tournament. Officers were eventually forced to enter the home and clear out the elderly houseguests.

Mayor Tisdahl has assured Northwestern students and faculty that an “egregious incident of public disrespect such as this will not be tolerated,” and that “the O’Halloran household will be under the strict watch of Evanston Police officials.”
