Twenty-two University of Rhode Island students have been arrested over a short one-week period, Narragansett police say, for various charges, including underage drinking, DUIs, urinating in public and assaulting an officer.

The incidents took place between Sept. 2-8. An officer was injured during the arrest of two students, who were charged with assaulting police officers at a gathering in the Bonnet Shores neighborhood last Friday, according to NBC 10 News.

Renters and homeowners at three properties will receive summonses for violating a newly amended public nuisance ordinance, police said.

"The University is aware of several incidents that occurred in Narragansett over the past weekend and does not condone the reported behavior. Any involvement by URI students will be reviewed consistent with the University's Community Standards and Student Conduct System and may result in sanctions, including suspension or dismissal, in addition to any local actions taken," URI said in a statement to the outlet.
