July 27th, 2006

Pottsville police report that an incident at Tuesday night's splash party at JFK Pool resulted in two arrests.

According to the Pottsville Republican, police were called to a disturbance at the pool, where a group of teens who had been banned from the splash party were hanging around. City police tried to break up the gathering, but they wouldn't leave, and became verbally abusive to officers. While trying to question the kids, two of them fled on foot.

They were apprehended and returned to the custody of their parents. The pair will be cited for disorderly conduct.
