Charges Pending After Teens Fight With Cheyenne Police at Central Game

Cheyenne Police say charges are pending in connection with a fight at a Cheyenne Central Football game on Friday, Sept. 11, in which teens allegedly fought with police officers.

Police Say Incident Started As Teen Effort To ''Rage Bait" Students

Police spokeswoman Alex Farkas gave Townsquare Media the following Statement:

"On Friday, September 11, a disturbance involving several teenage students occurred at the Central High School football game.

During the game, a group of teens from another high school attempted to provoke fights with students in the stands. Social media posts made by the teens indicated they were at the game to “rage bait” Central students. CPD officers and school staff repeatedly asked the group to stop, but disruptive behavior continued throughout the evening.

Toward the end of the game, officers contacted the teens and asked them to leave school property. They refused and became physically confrontational – many grabbed, spit, and punched at officers.

Several students were detained for questioning and later released to their parents. Charges related to the incident are pending. "

The game featured Cheyenne Central hosting Casper Kelly Walsh High School, with Central winning the game 20-7.
