A fleet of sqaud cars from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office is parked outside some of UCF’s most popular bars right now, apparently raiding them to try and arrest underage drinkers.
KnightNews.com crews saw OCSO deputies parked outside of DEKO, Knight Library and Dungeon Lounge, all of which are right across from the University of Central Florida.
There were nearly 10 deputy cars counted during the raid. It’s not clear yet if extra units were called in to conduct this operation, or if all of the deputies assigned to East Orange County converged here, leaving the rest of East Orlando temporarily without deputy patrols.
An eyewitness on scene told KnightNews.com 15 OCSO squad cars were at the plaza, packed full of UCF’s favorite bars, one day earlier as well searching for underage drinkers.
In addition to looking for people committing alcohol crimes, students told KnightNews.com parking tickets were being given out as well.
We are working to upload video and photos, and will have much more very soon. Check back for updates tonight.
