LEXINGTON, Ky. — Rioters overturned cars and lit couches on fire Saturday near the University of Kentucky campus following a victory against Louisville in a Final Four game.
Riot police used pepper spray and made approximately 13 arrests, the Associated Press reports. Some reports indicated that the 150 police deployed to the scene had to dodge flying beer bottles and put out dozens of fires involving sofas, trash and other debris.
Police said they were satisfied with the methods of crowd control used, the Indy Star reports. The rioters were well-behaved, albeit intoxicated, according to Battalion Chief Ed Davis of the Lexington Fire Department.
Fifteen party-goers suffered injuries.
