Two 15-year-old girls and a 13-year-old girl were arrested Monday night for fighting with police as they tried to arrest the girls during a disturbance on the South Side.

The incident took place at about 9:45 p.m. near the Post Road and Turbot Drive intersection, Madison police said. All three girls are from Madison.

The 13-year-old allegedly punched an officer in the throat, and she was tentatively charged with battery to a police officer.

One of the 15-year-old girls allegedly kicked an officer multiple times, and she also was tentatively charged with battery to a police officer, as well as possession of pepper spray and resisting/obstructing.

The other 15-year-old girl was tentatively charged with possession of pepper spray and resisting/obstructing.

All three were taken to the juvenile jail.

Multiple officers were sent to the loud disturbance and fight.

“When police arrived, a 15-year-old girl was in the process of using pepper spray on a boy who was trying to get away from her,” said police spokesman Joel DeSpain.
