Additional charges could be filed Saturday against nine people arrested in South Los Angeles after bottles were thrown at police officers sent to break up a gathering of more than 100 people, many believed to be gang members.
Police went to the area of 98th Street and Avalon Boulevard at 4:05 p.m. Friday after getting complaints about a barbecue with loud music and people being unable to pass through the area, according to Los Angeles Police Department Officer Drake Madison.
The gathering was a reception following a funeral service, NBC4 reported.
Arriving officers had bottles thrown at them, Madison said.
No officers were injured, Madison said.
The nine people arrested face charges including failure to disperse and battery on a police officer, Madison said.
