Ashburn Police make arrests in mini riot in front of club.
/On Wednesday , Ashburn Police arrested several
people they say were involved in a mob fight that injured a half dozen
officers. Witnesses say officers incited the violence but police say
that's simply not true. Police have made four arrests in what
they describe as a brawl with an angry mob. A mob
that threw bricks and glass bottles. It happened last week in front of
the Traffic Light club in Ashburn, when law enforcement officials
responded to reports of a fight. When it was over, six officers were
injured. One was taken to the hospital. "We had car video cameras going
and we were able to take those tapes and identify the suspects. At that
point that was a crucial piece of evidence that allowed us to get
warrants on these individuals," says Police Chief Ben Sumner. But while
police worked to identify suspects, some citizens were busy pointing
fingers. Witnesses blame officers for starting violence. But Chief
Sumner says the video tapes say otherwise. [more
