Police in Lexington say they will step up enforcement around the University of Kentucky's stadium during football game days.

Parking regulations will be strictly enforced in neighborhoods around the stadium.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reported Friday that illegally parked cars will be ticketed, but the city had not decided what to do about cars parked on lawns, which has long been allowed, though it is illegal.

Extra police officers will patrol the area on game days and police will be watching for lawlessness.

A task force was set up last year after police found a blazing couch and drunken people gathered in areas where students live after UK defeated the University of Louisville.

Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's tumultuous day began with one judge suddenly declaring he could get rid of the ankle device tracking his movements and another ruling only hours later that it must go back on. By the end of the day, the embattled politician's hope of attending the Democratic National Convention was dashed.

Kilpatrick faced another tough day Friday, when he was due to learn at a preliminary hearing whether he must stand trial on assault charges. The hearing was not expected to pack the same drama that filled two courtrooms Thursday.

Hours after Wayne County Circuit Judge Leonard Townsend told Kilpatrick to remove his electronic tether, District Judge Ronald Giles ordered the mayor to put it back on, a result of legal pingpong between Kilpatrick's two separate criminal cases.

Townsend was overseeing Kilpatrick's arraignment on perjury and other charges. Besides removing the tether, the judge said the mayor could attend the Democratic National Convention in Denver later this month - over heated objections by a prosecutor.

But by afternoon, Giles reinstated the tether as a condition of Kilpatrick's release in the assault case. It was back on the mayor's ankle nearly four hours after it was removed.
