Overview
- Police arrested 39 people and towed 65 vehicles after containing the group at Woodward High School following attempts at multiple sites across the city.
- Officers first intercepted drivers near Paddock Road and I-75, recovered a firearm, used stopsticks, and deployed the Civil Disturbance Response Team to end the event.
- Most defendants face misdemeanor street-racing counts, at least 31 were booked at the county jail, and many bonded out with some cash bonds as low as $100.
- Police agreed to release more than 50 impounded vehicles to registered owners as court hearings continued, including an arraignment for 18-year-old Terry Clark on street racing and receiving stolen property.
- Council member Mark Jeffreys is pursuing an ordinance modeled on Louisville that would allow up to six-month impoundments and higher fines, citing data that roughly 85% of participants were from out of town.
