A Manasquan resident over the weekend was arrested in Wall for alleged heroin possession, records show.

Two twenty-year-old men were charged with trespassing at Wesleyan within less than a week after Middletown Police and university security officers joined forces to crack down on non-students attending parties on campus.

On Oct. 26 to 27, Middletown police assisted Wesleyan University public safety officers identify non-students trespassing on campus. The report says the university has had an "increase in criminal activity" following non-students attending parties on weekends.

On Oct 27 at 1:20 a.m., Luis Suarez, 22, of Loveland Street walking around a Wesleyan-owned building then "stagger onto High Street holding a red plastic cup containing alcohol," the report says. His face was recognized by police as that of a past violator.

On Oct. 21 at 2:37 a.m., Wesleyan Public Safety called officers to a home on Fountain Avenue, where they had Rudolph A. McNeil, 26, of Fairview Avenue in handcuffs, the report says, during a house party.  A student told the public safety officer McNeil, who had assaulted his friend a few days before, was in his backyard uninvited.

The report says McNeil argued with P-Safe, waved his hands in the air and aggressively moved toward officers. School authorities told Middletown police he had been told not to return after being arrested for several burglaries at Wesleyan in the past. When told he was being arrested, the report says, he yelled, "yawl hate me! You got nothing on me!"

At headquarters, McNeil was uncooperative and kept asking officers what he was charged with. When they responded, "criminal trespass first," he would yell he wasn't a "criminal," the report indicates, followed by the assertion that all Middletown police hate him because they think he sells drugs.

He has several convictions for possession and sales of narcotics and criminal possession of a firearm; there is one pending case for interfering with officers and disorderly conduct, the report indicates.

Both McNeil and Suarez were charged with first-degree trespass.
