Fights Break Out At Great America; 2 Girls Arrested

Two juvenile girls were taken into custody Friday following a large fight at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, police said. Authorities from the Gurnee Police Department responded to a report of a large group causing a disturbance, and a fight between two females. The fight, police said, stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the two females, according to a news release.

While responding, several other disturbances involving juveniles were reported at the amusement park, according to Gurnee police. The Gurnee Police Department requested assistance from the Waukegan Police Department and the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

No weapons were recovered during the incident and nobody was taken to a hospital with injuries.

The Gurnee Police Department is actively investigating the incident and will be reviewing these cases with the Lake County States Attorney for appropriate charges, police said.

The arrests came months after another large brawl at Six Flags in which a family of three was injured. Police said the family was attacked by a group of nine teenagers after the teens cut them in line. The family has since filed a lawsuit against Six Flags.
