GLEN ELLYN, Ill. (WGN) – A second arrest has been made in connection with a “teen takeover” at Glen Ellyn’s Sunset Pool in July.
The Glen Ellyn Police Department said on Wednesday, Sept. 4 that Alyah Collins was arrested for battery after the park district manager was pushed into the pool during the incident on Saturday, July 5.
Just before 5 p.m. that day, officers were called to Sunset Pool, located in the 400 block of Fairview Avenue, after receiving reports of a crowd of teens, estimated to be between 200 and 300, gathering together.
According to police, many teens entered without paying, while some were reportedly smoking cannabis, drinking alcohol, and setting off fireworks.
Parents who were at the pool with children told WGN-TV some teens were playing inappropriate music over loud portable speakers.
The large crowd and unruly behavior caused staff to close the pool early. Police said it took several police departments to help evacuate the park.
One arrest was made at the time for illegal use of fireworks.
