Osoyoos RCMP

On Saturday April 2, 2016  RCMP officers responded to a brawl at the Sun Bowl Arena. A report was received of numerous parents who broke out into a large fight in the stands.

The game involving kids 10 years old from the New Western Bruins out of Langley and the BC Interior Stars out Vernon, Kelowna, West Kelowna, Summerland and Penticton had just ended when the brawl between the parents started.

Investigation has revealed the parents were all staying at a local resort and had been consuming liquor throughout the day and prior to attending to the arena. So much so the resort had to call in extra security.

Accusations from both sides suggested both sides were yelling insults at one another prior to the fight breaking out however alcohol is believed to have played a large factor in the very poor choices made by these parents.

At least one female received injuries in the way of a broken nose. Other minor injuries were also reported. It is unfortunate that these young children had to witness their parents act in such an immature way.
