Cleveland Police have made an arrest in connection with illegal street takeovers that impacted the city last weekend. Drivers shut down streets and intersections as well as a portion of Interstate 90 for illegal stunts. Witnesses say those taking part also lit fires and brandished weapons at people. The department has now formed a task force to investigate these incidents. Illegal street takeovers have been an issue across the country. The trend is amplified by social media. In many cases, the takeovers are filmed by bystanders and uploaded to social media. Cleveland City Council wants a bigger police presence and drones to be used to deter such events from taking place in the city.
We will begin the “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable” talking about street takeovers and the city’s response.
