In keeping with annual tradition, a flock of stoners congregated on the Oval Sunday morning in observance of 4/20. Exactly two minutes after the light-up hour, the cluster of about 50 people was greeted by three Public Safety patrol cars that closed in on them, sirens blaring. Sgt. Ben Gladwin of the Office of Public Safety said officers advanced toward the pot-smokers before most of them could settle in the middle of the Oval this year. “We didn’t give them much time to get to the Oval,” Gladwin said. As police cruised inward the group broke away and scattered in all directions. “We made our best effort to contain them. That’s not gonna happen in the Oval,” Gladwin said. Nobody was cited this year.
