(South Bend, IN) - Arrests have been made in connection with the halftime fight at a South Bend Washington High School basketball game last week. Police say the melee was gang-related.

Five males between the ages of 18 and 20 have been charged with Battery and Disorderly Conduct in the February 2nd brawl that began in the bleachers and spilled onto the floor during halftime. Two other juveniles were also involved.

Police say the participants have ties to three different gangs in South Bend.

Last Friday’s game between Washington and South Bend Riley was Senior Night. Reports indicate college scouts were on hand to scout a few players. The second half of the game was cancelled and will not be rescheduled.
