(St. Joseph, MICH) - Fighting again resulted in the early closure of a beach along Lake Michigan in Berrien County, Michigan.

About 8 p.m. last evening, Berrien County Police said a larger number of young adults and juveniles at Silver Beach in St. Joseph began to cause a disturbance, which resulted in two people engaging in physical contact.

Additional law enforcement units were called to restore order but some people continued to act disorderly, which led to the decision to close the beach for the remainder of the evening, police said.

Police said one adult and one juvenile were issued citations for disturbing the peace.

“We will continue to take a zero-tolerance approach to deal with anyone acting outside the laws or ordinances down at Silver Beach,” said Undersheriff Greg Sanders.   

A few weeks ago, fighting resulted in an early closure at the same beach.
