The call came out early in the third quarter Sunday to investigate numerous complaints of a commotion in a ladies’ restroom across from Section 336 in Ralph Wilson Stadium.

It didn’t take security officers long to figure out the cause of what police later called a “public disturbance” in the restroom.

A woman, law enforcement officials said Monday, was having *** with her boyfriend in a bathroom stall.

The couple was arrested, two of 37 people arrested at the stadium by Orchard Park police and Erie County sheriff’s deputies before, during and after Sunday’s Bills-Jets game.

Police charged Alicia A. Venneman, 29, of Northville, in the southern Adirondacks, with disorderly conduct.

They also charged a man whom police identified as her boyfriend, Jeramy H. Kemper, 31, of Mayfield, with tres-

passing and resisting arrest.

“This was inappropriate behavior in public,” Scott Berchtold, Bills vice president of communications, said Monday. “Our security staff reacted accordingly, and law enforcement officials were called in to handle the situation.”

In November 1998, a couple was charged with public lewdness after being caught having *** in the upper-level stands during a Bills game.

After being convicted in a nonjury trial, each of them was fined $500 and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.

Sunday, law enforcement officials logged more than the average number of arrests at a Bills game, making 37 arrests, 32 by Orchard Park police and five by the Erie County sheriffs.

Authorities made 16 arrests at the San Diego game two weeks earlier, 39 at the Oakland game Sept. 21 and 28 at the Seattle game Sept. 7.

Charged with disorderly conduct Sunday were Robert J. Phillips, 28, of Ontario; Mark J. Webster, 22, of Hamilton, Ont.; Eric M. Sholtz, 33, of the City of Tonawanda; John A. Betzig, 41, of Depew; and Alicia J. Scholtz, 31, and Todd A. Scholtz, 32, both of North Tonawanda.

Criminal trespass charges were filed against Wesley Couto, 27, of Cambridge, Ont.; Michael B. Barlow, 24, of Elmira, Ont.; Joshua *. Greenwalt, 18, of Lockport; Timothy Raywood, 21, of New Jersey; Peter J. Cummings, 30, of Atlanta; Daniel J. Cummings, 23, of Williamsville; Steven W. Wilson, 48, of Hamilton, Ont.; Scott K. Miller, 25, of Toronto; Heather R. Barniac, 18, of Greenwood; and Shawne E. Porter, 20, of Hornell.

Seven people were charged with unlawful possession of alcohol: Michael R. Ferguson and Mark D. Ferguson, both 19, of Ancaster, Ont.; Michael A. Fallis, 20, of Hamilton, Ont.; Brian R. Lux, 18, of West Seneca; Michael Multer, also known as Ryan Multer, 19, of Penn Yan; Travis S. Duchmann, 18, of Hamburg; and Matthew J. Bratcher, 19, of Hamburg.

Facing charges of obstructing governmental administration are Kevin *. Dawson, 22, of Caledonia, Ont.; and Jason J. Virtue, 36, and Mark A. Virtue, 34, both of Brantford, Ont.

Orchard Park police also arrested Brandon P. Ferraro, 21, of Caledonia, Ont., on charges of assault and robbery; James C. Allen, 21, of Buffalo, marijuana possession; Mark J. Boyd, 45, of Hempstead, harassment and resisting arrest; and Deborah A. Wales, 46, of Arizona, DWI.

Sheriff’s deputies arrested five, including disorderly conduct charges against three Ontario residents: Ivan Mitar, 24; Nicholas Fox, 25; and Andrew MaCartney, 25. They charged Keenan VanRooyen, 16, of Ontario, with underage drinking; and Duane Gworek, 47, of North Tonawanda, with DWI.

Richie Sexson can't be happy.

I never realized there were so many arrests.

[RIPskaterdude]

Clearly, I need to attend a Bills game ASAP.

[Mr Awesome]

Who would have sex in a stadium bathroom? I have no problem with public sex, but those bathrooms are fricking nasty.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't blame them..it's more entertaining than watching a Bills game..

[WEFFPIM]

And people want to move the Bills? Come on, where else would we get entertainment like this, Cincinnati?

What's the big deal? They were considerate enough to do it in a stall. It's not like they were laying on the floor right by the door.
