It comes after a high-speed crash and serious accident Friday night along North Avenue.

On Saturday, police say crowds and vehicles took over private business lots near North and Villa avenues.

At one point, a crowd formed to block an arrest, according to police.

There was also an unsubstantiated claim of a few people with guns, police said.

Offenders face a $900 fee and risk getting their tires spiked.
