Oak Creek Police Break Up Large High School Fight; 30-40 Gathered and 2 Arrested

OAK CREEK, WI — Oak Creek police broke up a large fight after school this week, but not before two teens were cited for swearing at police officers.

A caller from Oak Creek High School reported that they received information that a fight was going to take place possibly in the area of the Target parking lot just before 3 p.m. on May 22.

According to the police report, as it turned out, officers were dispatched to the area of the Pick 'n Save parking lot for the reported dispute.

Once on scene, officers observed between 30-40 high school-aged children present in the parking lot with a group of about 4-5 boys in a car arguing with an adult male from inside their cars.

According to the report, the adult male was in the Pick 'N Save parking lot attempting to control the crowd.

As police monitored the situation, they observed a verbal altercation with the boys in the car and the adult male in which one of the boys in the car stuck his body out from the back seat window and "screamed very loudly and very close" to the man's face, swearing at him, using a racial epitaph and challenging others like him to fight him.

At this point, the officer exited his squad and informed the agitated boy in the car that he was under arrest for disorderly conduct.

According to reports, the boy became immediately resistive with the officer when he tried to place him in hand cuffs. The boy reportedly continued to scream for his friends as the officer had to restrain him from further resistance.

The report stated that another teenager was cited for disorderly conduct as they screamed profanities at officers as they were attempting to control the scene.
