The Chicago police arrested five people, including three young people, while a large crowd left for North Avenue Beach, moved through the old city and Lincoln Park on Tuesday evening, according to a CPD spokesperson.
Police commanders have deployed two saturation teams and tactical units from six of the 22 CPD districts of the city to manage the crowd, a source reported.
About 200 people, most of them who seemed to be in their teenage years or early 20s, began to leave the beach via LaSalle Drive and the North Avenue pedestrians who were subordinated shortly before 10 p.m., asked a CPD supervisor extra patrol trucks to help with the multi -fast judges.
Officers formed lines to accompany the crowd west along North Avenue. Video posted on the Citizen -app recorded a few dozen people who run into traffic strips, left behind by the police. Cops also contain a part of the crowd that reached the 1500 block of North Wells, an area covered with restaurants and bars. However, an 18th district police -Supervisor has instructed officers to remember the use of speakers or sirens to prevent the nearby inhabitants from disturbing.
According to a spokesperson for the CPD, three young people were held during the incident: two boys between the ages of 16 and 17 were accused of battery and opposed a peace officer, while another 17-year-old boy was cited for owning alcohol on Park possession.
Two adults were also charged, the spokesperson said: Honest Williams, 19, is confronted with the charges of crime reckless behavior and resistance to a peace officer and Devon Mitchell, 19, was accused of two counts of resisting a peace officer and one count of rankless behavior.
A similar incident with large crowds who left the beach took place in the same area in May 2022.
The arrests took place for hours before the city council had to consider a proposed “Snap evening clock” regulation, which the police -superintendent would authorize to impose an evening clock at any location with a cancellation period of 30 minutes. Ald. Brian Hopkins (2nd neighborhood) leads to efforts to adopt the regulation as a tool to help the police manage the “large group” or “teen trend” incidents.
