OAK GROVE, Minn. — Authorities say Anoka County sheriff’s deputies used tear gas to disperse an unruly crowd Friday afternoon at a beach party in Lake George Regional Park north of the Twin Cities.
Deputies responding to numerous complaints found 200 people and a DJ in the beach area and fights going on “in multiple areas of the park,” the sheriff's office said in a release. The deputies told the crowd to leave and said the park was closed.
When several people told deputies they would not leave and some began climbing to the roof of a bathroom building in the park, police deployed a smoke canister. When that failed to clear the entire crowd, police used tear gas and the remaining people left the park.
One person was treated by medical personnel at the scene and was not hospitalized, the release said. There were no arrests.
Lake George Park was closed earlier this week due to “similar issues,” according to the release.
