Reports from the Middletown Police Department say the crowd rushed the door and brought the disturbance into the parking lot.

Officers estimate the crowd at 300 people, many whom were minors. Beer cans and bottles were found throughout the parking lot and in the halls.

The Butler County Sheriff's Office and the Franklin, Trenton and Monroe police departments were called to assist. It took about 30 minutes to disperse the crowd.
