SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. (WLNE) – Celebrations in South Kingstown got a bit out of hand Sunday night after the Patriots win.

State police, South Kingstown Police and URI campus police were called in to help control hundreds of students who became unruly after the game.

Several fires were started in dumpsters around campus and police made 3 arrests.

After about 45 minutes students dispersed back to dorm room, leaving the campus littered with broken bottles and beer cans.
