Eight individuals, including four adults aged 18 to 20 and four juveniles, were charged with offenses related to their involvement in the Aug. 22 disruption, according to Trotwood police.
Due to the large crowd in attendance that night, Trotwood officers assigned to football game detail had called for back-up to assist with de-escalating multiple altercations that occurred during and after the game, the Trotwood Police Department said.
“Ensuring the safety of students, families and community members is our top priority,” said Chief Erik Wilson. “Disruptive and criminal behavior at school events endangers everyone, and the Trotwood Police Department remains committed to holding those responsible accountable for their actions.”
