On Friday and Saturday nights during football season the Ingham County Sheriff's mounted patrol rides the streets of East Lansing. I parked our car north of the campus for last Saturday's game and took these cellphone photos along Abbott.
On the left you can see the horse trailers staging near the East Lansing Police Station. On the right, two officers wait and chat on a side street near some of the fraternity and sorority houses on Abbott. Michigan State does not allow drinking or sell beer inside Spartan Stadium. Alcohol, however, is omnipresent on game days in and around campus.
I'm guessing that the mounted officers have many a tale to tell of riding the streets in East Lansing on weekend patrol.
