Coeur d’Alene Juvenile Fights Spike

Coeur d’Alene Police hope that a return to school will mean fewer fights in public areas.The police have seen more juvenile fights, and reports of fights, over the summer and are not sure why. They tend to happen in the Third Street parking lot, by Tubbs Hill, and also by the skate park during the night.”It’s a new thing that’s happened this summer. We haven’t had these problems in the past. It’s a new trend,” Lt. Don Ashenbrenner with the Coeur d’Alene Police Department said. Shannon Brandt, from Post Falls, was visiting Lake Coeur d’Alene Friday. He says he’s heard chatter among kids about more fighting.”I don’t know what’s going on. They need to know the decisions they make are lifelong. They need to stop,” Brandt said.Sometimes kids text each other to meet and fight. In July, that’s exactly what happened. Two 16-year-old girls ended up being cited for fighting in public. Other times those involved are a bit more spontaneous/ Anusha Roy , KXLY. More here.
