“Together we created and executed a crowd-control plan that resulted in minor property damage and a few minor injuries,” said Richmond Police Chief Bryan T. Norwood.
“Considering the nature of the celebration, I commend all the officers and others involved that night for their restraint and their professionalism. I would also like to compliment the vast majority of VCU basketball fans who celebrated responsibly after each game during the team’s remarkable run to the Final Four.”
No mugshots were taken of the six people arrested. The Richmond Police Department does not identify whether those arrested were VCU students per Department policy.
