Three emergencies at Wednesday Alfie’s

Three women outside Alfie’s nightclub were taken to hospital early Thursday morning.

According to a Campus Security alert, they exhibited “levels of intoxication that appeared in excess of their actual consumption,”.

“There were no definitive signs of any drinks that were drugged,” said Campus Security Director David Patterson. “That would be a medical determination.”

Patterson said officers were on patrol at 1 a.m. when they came across a woman lying on the sidewalk outside of Alfie’s.

“She told our staff that she couldn’t move her legs,” he said.

All three women were coming out of Alfie’s nightclub.

“There were three individuals that passed along the same information,” he said.

Patterson couldn’t comment on the medical condition of the students.

He said the next step would be to speak to staff at Alfie’s.

“That’s part of our follow up,” he said.

Patterson said it’s important to be self-aware.

“If you or a friend feel dizzy or confused, or experience any symptoms [like] memory loss get to a safe place immediately.”

Constable Steven Koopman, media relations officer for Kingston Police, said the police received a call about one female who was unconscious outside Alfie’s.

“A call was received at 1:17 a.m. about a medical assist in progress at 87 Union St. for an unresponsive female in her twenties,” he said.

Koopman said the call was from paramedics asking for police to attend the scene.

“We were cancelled by the ambulance two minutes later at 1:19 a.m.,” he said.

Koopman said he couldn’t comment on why the call was cancelled.

AMS Hospitality and Safety Services Director Gracie Goad declined to comment to the Journal yesterday.
