Kavanaugh questioned by police after 1985 fight in college bar: report
The Hill ^ | 10/01/18 | MORGAN GSTALTER

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was reportedly questioned by police in 1985 after he was accused of throwing ice on someone during a college bar fight.

The New York Times obtained a report from the New Haven Police Department on Monday dating back to when Kavanaugh was an undergraduate student at Yale University.

Kavanaugh, then 21 years old, was questioned along with four other men after an early morning altercation at Demery’s bar in September 1985.

Kavanaugh was not arrested but was accused of throwing ice on someone for “some unknown reason,” according to the report obtained by The Times.

Kavanaugh did not want “to say if he threw the ice or not” when speaking with officers, according to the report.

A witness told police that Chris Dudley, one of Kavanaugh’s friends, also hit the man in the ear with a glass. Dudley denied the accusation.

Police noted that the victim, Dom Cozzolino, “was bleeding from the right ear” and was treated at a local hospital.

The newspaper noted that the local bar, known for serving pizza and beer, closed in 1994.

The report obtained by The Times lists the altercation as “an assault” but does not indicate if there were ever any arrests or charges filed.

The White House did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment on Monday.

Dudley did not respond to The Times’ request for comment and Cozzolino declined to comment to the newspaper.

Kavanaugh’s drinking habits have been under a spotlight since he was publicly accused of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford and two other women.

Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week and alleged a drunken Kavanaugh assaulted her during a summer house party in the 1980s when they were both high school students.

Deborah Ramirez, the second woman to come forward with accusations against Kavanaugh, has reportedly spoken with the FBI as part of its additional investigation into the judge.

Ramirez told The New Yorker last week that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a dorm party at Yale University in the 1980s, causing her to touch his penis when she pushed him.

A third woman, Julie Swetnick, claims that Kavanaugh attended a party where she was drugged with "Quaaludes or something similar" and attacked by a series of men in a "gang rape."

Kavanaugh has denied all of the allegations against him.

The nominee testified under oath that he had never blacked out or passed out due to alcohol consumption.

Chad Ludington, a man who attended Yale with Kavanaugh, told The Times on Sunday that Kavanaugh had mischaracterized his alcohol consumption during his testimony.

Ludington said he saw Kavanaugh "staggering from alcohol consumption" multiple times, describing him as a "belligerent and aggressive" drunk.

"It is truth that is at stake, and I believe that the ability to speak the truth, even when it does not reflect well upon oneself, is a paramount quality we seek in our nation’s most powerful judges,” Ludington said in a statement, according to the Times.

The White House on Monday released statements from Dan Murphy and Chris Dudley, Kavanaugh's former suitemate and classmate respectively, who said they never saw Kavanaugh black out from drinking.

200 some years ago, the Vice President shot the Treasury Secretary in a duel and we’re reduced to clutching pearls over some ice cubes?

My life could never endure such a ridiculous level of scrutiny.

Same here (and I'm not a guy). They're making a big deal about a fight in a bar? So what?

Made sure my sons watched the Kavanaugh hearing. Then I asked, "Is there a lesson here, guys?" They answered, "Yeah. Don't become famous."

This just in - 3 democrat nurses have accused Brett Kavanaugh of exposing himself to them when he was born. And he even urinated on one of them.

In cases like this those who were in the immediate vicinity are rounded up and questioned whether they were involved or not.

At one point during the committee hearings, a Democratic senator was examining Kavanaugh about his beer drinking in college. Kavanaugh shot back quickly, asking the senator what he liked to drink. Kavanaugh was oddly taunting in the way he addressed the senator, and he asked the question twice. At first, I thought he was merely annoyed and being combative. Now I think he was saying “I know what and how much you drink, you hypocritical lush.”

What has throwing ice to do with the alleged rape and brutal sexual assaults?

Shouldn’t have done it, but . . .

Shouldn't have done it, why? You were young and needed to grow up. How do you grow up except by doing things. Psychologists are now telling us that the best way for kids to become well adjusted is to let them play.

Well, by the time you are ready for graduate or professional school or a job or something, hopefully you have grown out of this stuff, grown out being the operative word.

As they say good judgment is the result of experience and experience is the result of bad judgment.

This brings to mind the vigorous and thorough vetting that the mainstream media did of Barack Obama prior to his first presidential election.

How much dope did obama suck up in college, in high school, in the white house?

Merciful Maude. If this really happen, it’s a travesty. I mean, a man who actually threw ICE CUBES. Ice cubes! The horror of it! Why, anyone knows that Antifa only throws pipes, and salt, and uses knuckles. ICE CUBES! Run for your lives from this man!

Oh, reminds me. I’m trying to not call those people who are not clear thinking, as Idiots. The reason? Because I know those who are true idiots are not so by their own will. Can anyone give me several adjectives to describe them that do not insult God’s Innocents?

Really, serious on this question.

How would anybody know if you blacked out? Maybe a friend you hang out with because you told them. You do not black out just because you are drunk.
