Teens arrested after disturbance at Wichita business

Wichita police arrested two teenagers after a disturbance at a south Wichita business Saturday evening.

Officers were working an off-duty job at a business in the 3200 block of South Meridian when a 15-year-old girl threatened employees.   They asked the girl to leave but she continued to make threats and refused to leave.  The girl tried to strike an officer but missed, and a struggle began as the officers tried to take the girl into custody.   A 16-year-old boy got involved and struck an officer in the back of the head.   There was a struggle with the teenager and more officers were called to the business.

The girl was booked into the Juvenile Intake and Assessment Center for assault, battery of a law enforcement officer, and aggressive and harassing contact.  The boy was booked into the juvenile center for battery and two counts of obstruction.

Video of a part of the incident has been circulating on social media, and police said the incident is being reviewed by the investigations division and the professional standards bureau.   Anyone with more information is urged to contact investigators at 316-268-4407, Crime Stoppers at 267-2111 or the See Something Say Something hotline at 518-2282.
