Earlier this evening we received reports of an altercation involving several juveniles that were involved in an altercation. The juveniles actions caused a disruption in the crowded area of the midway. There were initial reports of shots being fired but after investigation it was a false report. We have taken several subjects into custody and after reviewing footage from our surveillance system more charges could follow. After the initial incident was resolved the activities within the fairgrounds resumed as normal. Our main statement from this incident is that fairgoers are safe and are well protected by numerous sheriffs deputy’s as well as LPD officers
