Deputies break up large 'street takeover' on Milwaukee's south side
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- DOT video shows a large group of motorcyclists riding together on Milwaukee's freeway system this past Saturday.
This was after Milwaukee County sheriff's deputies broke up what they call an "out of control street takeover" at Jackson Park on the south side.
According to the sheriff's office, more than 300 vehicles were involved at the park, mostly motorcycles, mopeds, three-wheel motorcycles, dirt bikes, and ATVs/four-wheelers.
The sheriff's office didn't specify what riders were doing at the park, but said tickets were given and motorcycles were towed.
After leaving the park, officials say a large group took over the Kwik Trip parking lot on Rawson Avenue and deputies issued another 11 citations and towed four more motorcycles. They say one arrest was made for misdemeanor fleeing.
You can see the bikers briefly holding up traffic near 894 and Howard Avenue.
