Massive street takeover disrupts town as 50-100 riders in 'chaotic groups' block city roads: police

The Fall River Police Department wrote in a news release that the illegal street takeover went from 3:15 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday when 50-100 people on dirt bikes, scooters, ATVs and motorcycles gathered on streets across the city. According to police, the group was "disregarding traffic laws while performing reckless stunts, putting not only their lives at risk, but the lives of innocent, law-abiding drivers and pedestrians at risk."

"These are chaotic groups that block streets, operate recklessly and hinder the safe travel of those around them," police added.

In other videos shared by officials, a long stretch of motorcycles, scooters and ATVs were seen in large groups parading down several streets while traffic was blocked.

Christopher Frias, 34, Dylan Ploude, 24, Aaron Pimental, 20, Yethziel Medina, 19 and Jerron Butler, 36, were arrested in connection to the street takeover and face charges that include negligent operation of a motor vehicle, disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, assault and battery on an officer, and more.

The law enforcement agency said they're "fed up" with the street takeovers and "will have more friends to help us for the next event."
