Arrests Made After WVU Win

{Morgantown, West Virginia}...About 15 people were arrested and 30 fires extinguished after a crowd of about 1,000 people took to the streets in the Sunnyside area of Morgantown Saturday evening celebrating the West Virginia University football team's win against the University of Texas. Approximately 50 police officers from various agencies wore protective helmets, gas masks, and body armor and carried crowd-control batons, pepper spray and CS gas as the crowd pelted the officers with bottles, rocks and other objects, set fires, fought and tried to overturn vehicles.
