Bettison later said this came after a large group of teens were in the downtown area both Sunday and Saturday nights, stating that around 60 juveniles were detained Saturday for being out past curfew.
"As the community knows, curfew for 15 year olds and under kicks in at 10 p.m., and 11 p.m. is for 16 and 17-year olds. So we are doing our curfew enforcement," Bettison said.
As police enforce teen curfew policies, officials say parents will also be held accountable.
An investigation is ongoing.
