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.
Yet he never said to a girl: I’d put some ice on that if I was you.
All of this makes me wonder if the Monty Python skit “Blackmail” basically predicted the future, lol.
This is all Flake and the sisters need to justify voting “no”.
So, Kavanaugh was like a lot of my college classmates.
Expunged court record July 2018.
100 bucks says this is information the Senate talked about in closed session that is now being leaked to destroy him.
Thank Judas Flake!
Amazing how the NYTimes can find a report about ice being thrown in the 1980’s but could not find anything on Benghazi.
#49, nah. He pulled her ponytail and kicked her in the shin
Gee, six previous FBI investigations including one for the highest possible security clearance in government never revealed this police report, but media gumshoes found it in days. Kind of makes you wonder.
Next headline: Kavanaugh’s favorite Star Wars character is Jar Jar Binks.
Actually Kavanaugh in throwing ice and drinking too much and acting like a fool reminds me of everyone I knew in college, including myself, and quite a few women as well. Shouldn’t have done it, but . . .
And? His qualifications keep getting stronger.
“Kavanaugh was not arrested but was accused of throwing ice on someone for “some unknown reason.”
O.K., this is looking bad. If I see that Kavanaugh tore a tag off of a new pillow in violation of federal law then I’m through with him.
Well by today’s logic you were close enough that you yourself are a bank robber - sorry next time you should just stay in the get away car. How much did you get away with?
He is accused of throwing ice when he was in college. Seriously. We are paying how much money for this ridiculousness.
Elena Kagan uses strap ons with young girls....and the media treated her like a saint.
“Gee—How did this get past the FBI?”
It won’t. They’ll hurry over to the bar and maybe they’ll find some pieces of ice that Kavanaugh threw. Then, DiFi will find a witness that has been saving one of those pieces of ice in her freezer for 33 years. What dedication.
What next? He lit farts afire?
when universities preach that white males are the evil of the century this is what you get - the vast majority of leftists lives suck - don’t know if they are a man or woman - can’t tell what sex they are attracted to - pussified men, conflicted, driven by pure emotion and not reason, blame all their shortcomings on everyone else but themselves - see their circumstances as insurmountable without some government agency’s assistance, allow themselves to be manipulated with ease by some smooth talking “everybody gets free stuff and we are taking it from the rich (meant white males wink wink) slimeball politician. America is the land of the very few free and even less brave every damn day. Kavanaugh is getting a royal $&cking because he’s a white male, he’s got an education that actually means something and he’s not kneeling when our national anthem is being played and throwing his fist in the air screaming about how unfair life is because of some racial class holding him back. If he pissed on the flag tomorrow he’d be coronated king Supreme Court justice and carried around DC on democrats’ shoulders.
