FSU senior Sohpia Hernandez, 21, was lured to College Town by the promise of spiked hot chocolate at her favorite bar and quickly joined in the snowball fight while waiting to get in. “It was just silly fun. The cops were walking around shouting, but people aren’t going to stop because a snowball is harmless,” she said.

A video shared by Barstool FSU on Instagram shows an officer appear to aim the device into the crowd, causing people to scream and run. (Warning: The video contains explicit language.) Officers said no one was hit by the pepper balls. One person was arrested and charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, police said.

It was like 20 random people having a snowball fight,” said FSU junior Greg ElDeiry, a Weston native. “Definitely one of the most fun days.”
