Some Concordia College graduates tossed more than just their caps to celebrate Sunday’s graduation.
About 50 to 80 graduates and students were found skinny-dipping about 2:30 a.m. Monday morning in a pond on Concordia’s campus, said Moorhead Deputy Police Chief Bob Larson.
Police were called after a security guard “did not get the cooperation he had hoped for” when he tried to disperse the group, said Roger Degerman, Concordia’s senior director for communications and marketing.
The students pushed the security guard’s golf cart into the pond and left quickly when police arrived, Degerman said.
Larson said officers found people in their underwear, but did not find anyone naked at the scene.
Some individuals left behind wallets and clothes when they fled the scene, helping authorities to identify 10 people, both students and graduates.Larson said charges are not being recommended at this time because police do not know if the students identified are responsible for pushing the golf cart into the pond.
Degerman said the cart had to be towed out of the pond and the college is still determining whether it is serviceable.
Larson said this isn’t the first time police have heard about a late night dip in the Concordia pond, saying usually “we find out about it after the fact."
