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.
We would all get a free pass if we became Democrats. So switch parties, embrace evil, and run for Supreme Court justice, no problemo. All sins absolved by Feinstein herself. (Think it’s called “serving other gods” in the Old Testament)
What is this world coming to? We not only have an Irish Catholic college kid who likes to drink in pubs but might, on a rare occasion, fight in a bar! Well, at least he was questioned about fighting!
Similar degree as when I went into the Air Force. The only thing on my Police record was the following: “Observed shooting firecrackers off near the train tracks”. The recruiter told me he would recommend that I be sent to munitions and demolition school.
A similar investigation of CBF could put this whole thing to rest. Her drinking habits, I’ve read, would account for her mistaken allegations against Judge Kavanaugh.
Felony ice tossing — oh, the horror of it.
Did he throw crushed ice or the deadly cubes?
All of the future SCOTUS nominees will have been raised in a convent or monastery. Oh whoops, even those aren’t pure anymore.
New requirements for future SCOTUS justices:
!. Maintain 100% virginity until marriage.
2. Absolutely no drinking anything ever (or smoking).
3. Chaperoned 24/7 after 12YO in order to ward off FALSE ACCUSATIONS from liars and political opportunists.
I hear he stole a little girl’s peanut butter sammich in kindergarten.
I guess it’s time to officially rename the dem party to the Petty Pity Party. What freakin’ babies they are!
Ice? Really? No punch, no kick, no spit, just ice? Not even soda in the ice? Just ice?
Yep; “Petty Party” for short has a nice and accurate ring to it.
Didn't you ever learn this stuff in college?
We we’re walking through a bar in a crowd many years ago. Someone tried to grab my wife’s ass. We were with others. I didn’t make a scene out of it.
If you’re in a public place like that, your chances of avoiding an altercation at some point all that great.
Hell Bill Clinton was grabbing anything in site when he was president.
Didn’t catch the ridicule by the Leftists back then.
When I found he was a Yale Law grad, frat boy, JD cum laude blah blah blah... I suspected he was a wuss but it may turn out that he's a normal man who recognizes the fact that some people just need a good a$$ kickin'.
Refreshing.
An increasing number of men are deciding that he’s led a cleaner life than they have.
Every picture tells a story don’t it?
Paris was a place you could hide away
If you felt you didn’t fit in
French police wouldn’t give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the Left Bank minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot
When all I wanted was a cup of tea
I was accused
I moved on

At least he didn’t drown his date like the democrat lion of the senate did.
