The Summit County Sheriff's Office said Friday it arrested two people on charges of assault and inciting violence, and issued warrants for three others for the fight in Twinsburg Township outside Akron.
Sheriff's Patrol Commander Major Roger Kline said people were already leaving the scene when police arrived at the disturbance October 23, which involved about 40 people.
"Nobody would own up to seeing anything," Kline told the Akron Beacon Journal.
But then police got a tip that a witness to the fight had recorded it, and a video was posted on the YouTube video-sharing Web service.
The five-minute, 16-second video, posted to YouTube's U.K. server, was labeled "tburg fight." [It has since been taken offline.]
"I am sure they didn't put it on there for the purpose of helping us," Kline told the paper.
Police said they were able to identify suspects after watching the video and conferring with Twinsburg High School teachers and administrators.

- Well if anyone is watching You Tube how about having that puke bag arrested for misuse of tax money. Yes I am talking about the fat pig at ECAT in Pensacola, Florida. He needs to be locked up, the prison labor he misused may want some of him. Pig scum creep

- You and I have now been told that we each, and each of our children, owe our Government 24,000$ each, for a total of 7.7 TRILLION DOLLARS given to Wall Street by our Government. http://tinyurl.com/96a7s4

Where are the police on THAT crime? Where is our justice department?
Why are we giving bankers 7.7 Trillion dollars just to pay themselves bonuses, and to continue to charge 29% interest rates on fine-print credit cards???
We cannot tolerate this, and expect this country to survive. Something must be done. - Reply to this comment
- Great. They caught some kids fighting. Now, why has NOBODY been charged with a serious felony on Wall Street? These Wall Street parasites have run a 7 year scam which has destroyed our economy, cost us 1.5 times the entire US National debt accumulated since 1776, and destroyed the lives of millions.
Our elderly are being put out on the streets by these wealthy Wall STreet parasites. Our children are being crippled by future taxes to pay for the Billion dollar bonuses these parasites have paid themselves.
And where is our "justice" department? Who is seeking to prosecute these massive parasites who are destroying our country?
Can we have faith in a government that holds NOBODY accountable for the largest scam in history, that is destroying the current and future lives of 300 million people, at least????
That banks were saved because somebody(Paulson) said we needed what the banks do, for this country. But, the BANKS AREN''T DOING ANYTHING THAT BANKS DO!
They aren''t lending, they aren''t dropping their 29% interest rates on credit cards which they fund with tax dollars they borrow at ZERO percent. They aren''t helping this country...they are just sucking 7.7 TRILLION DOLLARS into the pockets of Wall Street sociopaths.
How much longer are we going to tolerate this insanity from our ''government''? - Reply to this comment
- Bravo to the police. They need to use every tool available to them. It is amazing how so many people would deny knowing anything. A while back, police solved a murder case in which a teenage girl was killed and quite a few people knew what happened but no one stepped forward. The crime was solved 30 or 40 years later.
