Police are investigating a disturbance downtown Sunday night that resulted in several officers and bystanders being pepper-sprayed.
Details about the disturbance at 10:45 p.m. in the 200 block of East State Street or about any injuries were still being gathered Monday. Authorities said additional information was unavailable because it was an ongoing investigation.
A disturbance in the same area earlier Sunday resulted in five people being cited on disorderly conduct charges after police said they were fighting at about 12:30 a.m.
Three of those cited were also arrested on charges of resisting or obstructing police.
