West Valley party turns into riot
When officers responded to reports of a loud party going on early Sunday morning, they weren’t prepared to arrest 10 people and issue more than 60 citations.
Eight West Valley officers went to the door of 20-year-old Edgar Reynoso but no one responded. They soon received more reports from individuals inside the residence saying the party organizer was threatening them and preventing them from leaving.
Once the officers entered the premises, some of the partygoers began harassing them. Officers called for backup not only from West Valley, but from Salt Lake City, West Jordan, Murray and Unified police as well.
