14 arrested during, after Game 7 of World Series in Cleveland, one from Chicago
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Police arrested 14 people during and after the Cleveland Indians' Game 7 loss to the Chicago Cubs.
Of the arrests, eight people were charged with drunken disorderly conduct, one arrest was related to domestic violence, one person was charged with assault and one person had an outstanding warrant on a contempt of court charge, police said.
The people arrested ranged in age from 24 to 65.
Of the 11 people formally charged on Thursday, one is from Chicago, one is from Auburn, Pennsylvania, one is from Twinsburg, one is from Akron and six are from Cleveland.
Three people were arrested on suspicion of selling fake tickets, police said. Those are fifth-degree felonies. Only one person on Thursday, Roy Hairston, 61, has been formally charged. Hairston has several misdemeanor convictions for scalping tickets outside Quicken Loans Arena and Progressive Field.
Three people — including a man arrested on suspicion of assault — have not been formally charged.
Police are also investigating after
an Indians knocked a Cubs fan unconscious after the game with a vicious punch that was recorded with a cellphone and went viral on Thursday. No arrests have been made in that case.
A police officer was also injured after the game when he crashed his motorcycle on East 9th Street and Prospect Avenue, near Progressive Field.
A traffic-control officer was hit by a car on Huron Road and Ontario Street, outside Quicken Loans Arena. He was taken to the hospital in stable condition, police said.
Another man was
attacked leaving Game 6 on Tuesday. The Indians fan who traveled to Cleveland from Florida was punched from behind, knocked unconscious and robbed of his cellphone and wallet as he walked back to his hotel after the game.
The 14 arrests tops the
five arrests following Game 7 of the NBA Finals in June. The Cavs won the game and the championship, but the game was played in Oakland, California.
Of the five arrests, three were for misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct. The other two are for possessing stolen property.
A police officer was hit by a car on East 14th Street and Broadway Avenue in a hit-and-run and some fans climbed on top of a Cleveland fire truck during the championship celebration.
