In the interest of their safety, they ordered the crowd to disband and closed the mall at about 5:15 p.m. “That stuff was bananas - why would you want to get wrapped up in that (stuff)?” he said.Īmsler said a crowd of hundreds had the officers surrounded at one point. After firing off a few pictures of the commotion for his Snapchat account, he departed the mall with the intention of getting his shopping done the following day. Nathaniel Burns, emerging from a T-Mobile store inside the mall Tuesday morning, said he saw a bunch of “push and shove” matches break out between people Monday afternoon. “Suddenly, police officers ran through and they went to the other side of the mall,” he said. She was charged with disorderly conduct and failure to obey a lawful order.Īmir Samad, who was selling 3-D posters from a kiosk in the food court, recalled seeing a wave of police sweeping past him before they ended up in a loud scrum in front of Cinnabon. Police arrested a 15-year-old girl in connection to another fistfight, Amsler said. Other skirmishes broke out in the food court and in the parking lot just outside the food court. The officer subdued the teen and arrested him, he said. A 15-year-old boy stepped in and threw a punch at one of the officers, Amsler said. “Initially he was by himself,” Amsler said.Īs other officers arrived, police arrested the 14-year-old girl on an obstruction charge, he said. While the officer was escorting the girls outside, a 14-year-old girl tried to push her way between the officer and the girls. The 13-year-old was charged with disorderly conduct for fighting and failure to obey a lawful order by police, Amsler said, and the girl’s sister was charged with obstructing a police officer. At that point, the girl surrendered, Amsler said. The girl wrestled with the officer, who then pulled out a Taser. Believing she was about to hit him, he grabbed her arm to control her,” Amsler said. “She formed a fighting stance with the officer.
The officer arrested the girl, but he was immediately confronted by others who were yelling at him, including the teen’s 16-year-old sister, who got in the officer’s face and yelled “keep your (expletive) hands off of her!” Amsler said. When the officer approached the 13-year-old girl to arrest her, she swore at him and warned him not to touch her, Amsler said. As the officer approached to break up the fight, one of the girls took off, Amsler said. “We are looking at whether this was gang-related.”Īt the beginning of the disturbance, a uniformed off-duty Aurora police officer saw a 13-year-old girl in a fistfight with another girl in the food court.
