Franksville Fight Posted on YouTube, Girls Face Charges
A brother of one of the girls also egged the two on during the fight.
A 14-year-old girl and a 17-year-old girl were arrested today for battery and disorderly conduct for fighting in a park.
And they would have gotten away with it if someone wouldn't have posted a recording of the fight on YouTube.
The two girls have not been officially been charged, but David Malison, an investigator with the Caledonia Police Department, said the case has been referred to the Racine County District Attorney’s Office for charges.
