ATHENS, Ohio

Police in southern Ohio are trying to turn down the volume on college parties by writing more citations.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that authorities in Athens have issued 72 noise citations during the first six weeks of classes at Ohio University.

That’s more than double the number of noise tickets there in all of 2009.
