UNION TOWNSHIP — Six people were charged after a melee involving more than 100 people Saturday night at Zavo's Teen Club, 9536 Cincinnati-Columbus Road, Butler County.
Several patrons and private guards were slightly injured and were treated by the Union Township Life Squad and Sharonville Life Squad.
Police said they tried to break up a fight about 11:20 p.m. and remove people from the club, but the brouhaha spilled into the parking lot, where the fight continued.
Officers from Sharonville, Evendale, Lincoln Heights, and Hamilton County Park Patrol helped end the brawl. There were about 700 people inside the club, according to township Police Lt. Robert Reese.
Police said they arrested:
• A 17-year-old from Williamsburg, charged with delinquency/disorderly conduct and failure to disperse.
• A 16-year-old from Harrison, charged with delinquency/disorderly conduct.
• A 15-year-old from Hamilton, charged with delinquency/disorderly conduct.
• Randall S. Nathan, 18, of Mason, charged with disorderly conduct.
• Crystal Marie Hall, 20, of Sharonville, charged with disorderly conduct.
• Scott Allen Sicurella, 20, of Mount Carmel, charged with disorderly conduct and underage consump tion. He also was held on a rape warrant from the Hamilton County.
All arrested were cited and released except for Mr. Sicurella, who was turned over to the Hamilton County sheriff.
The fight is under investigation.
Lt. Reese said the riot started when the club's management asked a juvenile to leave and he allegedly encouraged some of his friends to fight. They reportedly were chanting “tear the club up” and some were armed with pool sticks, he said.
The six who were arrested were those who “were persistent, who continued to stay in the way of policemen,” Lt. Reese said.
“There were actually people who surrounded the officers. ... (They) stood there and yelled threats.”
