2 TEENAGE GIRLS WERE ARRESTED AFTER THEY ATTACKED A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AT THE MONTEREY COUNTY FAIR SATURDAY NIGHT. THE INCIDENT BEGAN AROUND 9:30 P-M, WHEN 2 GROUPS OF TEENS STARTED FIGHTING. OFFICERS HAD CONTACTED THE 14 AND 16 YEAR-OLD GIRLS, AFTER THEY WERE IDENTIFIED AS BEING INVOLVED, AND WERE TRYING TO QUESTION THEM WHEN THE OLDER GIRL ATTACKED ONE OF THE OFFICERS. THE OTHER OFFICER WARNED THE GIRLS THEY COULD BE TASERED IF THE ATTACK DIDN’T STOP. THE YOUNGER GIRL THEN JOINED THE FRAY, AND THE TASER WAS DEPLOYED. BOTH GIRLS FACE CHARGES OF BATTERY ON AN OFFICER AND RESISTING ARREST. THEY WERE LATER RELEASED TO THEIR FAMILIES.
