The Dig has obtained the police report from the dance party at Wheelers that was broken up over the weekend. While it is just one side of the story, and a fragmented version of it at that, there are some fascinating anthropological observations to be had.

First of all, if there hadn't been a fight outside of Wheeler's, the cops never would have known about it:

Wheeler's Icecream … had the windows belackened out with black sheets of nylon giving the appearance that the business has been closed. Officers gained entry to the store and had observed approximately 60 to 70 people inside the store.

People were being charged a $10 entrance fee, and 21+ers were given wristbands and could buy alcohol. The report quotes the store's manager saying "This is an ice cream store as well as a bar." Sounds fantastic! They do have some seriously amazing alcoholic-flavored ice cream, so that's not as bananas as it sounds. Then again, the report says he couldn't produce any permits.

The cops seized just about everything as evidence; turntables, the mixing board, records and CDs, as well as a very specific grocery list:

Gin-bottle of London Dry Gin (Model: Kappy's)

Guinness-15 pack Guinness beer

Champagne - bottle of Segura Viudas Champagne

Beer - Bottle of Leffe beer

Sounds like a pleasant evening at home for Dig staff. Who doesn't chill out with a nice bottle of Kappy's model Dry Gin and a bottle of Leffe to chase that down?

Then there's the witness list. Either the party consisted almost entirely of underage white female students, or those were the people the police were more inclined to recruit as witnesses. Them, and a 49-year-old from Bedford who listed his occupation as "certified masseur." There's always that one guy …

Anyway, the case goes to pretrial later this month.
