VICTORVILLE, Calif. - One teen was arrested and another was injured after a fight broke out outside a high school football game in Victorville Friday night.
Officials were called out to Victor Valley High School just before 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 22, after reports of a fight. When deputies got there, the fight was still going on.
Deputies fired pepper balls into the ground to try and disperse the crowd, but officials said that didn't work. That's when they said the crowd started coming toward deputies. Deputies fired another pepper ball into the crowd, then a 16-year-old girl allegedly grabbed one of the deputies' pepper ball launcher. That's when the deputy pulled her off the gun and to the ground.
