Narrative:
At approximately 8 PM, a large number of young adults and juveniles arrived at the beach and began to cause a disturbance. This included two individuals that started to physically fight.
Deputies assigned to Silver Beach requested assistance for Saint Joseph Department of Public Safety and County patrol units. Additional units responded quickly to the scene.
One young adult and one juvenile were detained and issued citations for disturbing the peace. The juvenile was later released to a parent.
The young adults and juveniles continued to act disorderly and for the safety of the public, Silver Beach was closed early.
Silver Beach will re-open today.
We will continue to take a zero-tolerance approach to deal with anyone acting outside the laws or ordinances down at Silver Beach.
