Rowdy Trolley Kids

Downtown — The 11th Ave. and C St. trolley station situates itself at the bottom of the new Smart Corner condominiums. San Diego High School and Garfield High School are located down the street off of Park Boulevard and 16th St.

This last Thursday, January 22nd, at 3:00 p.m. a group of young teenagers were carousing around the trolley station. A policewoman said, “These kids get to jumping around, messing with each other, and when we tell them to settle down, sometimes they don’t listen. When they don’t listen we got to sit them down and force them to. We ran these three’s information and turns out, they’re on probation.”

More subdued teenagers waiting for the trolley said four of the kids were trash-talking another group of kids when the trolley cops showed up. The two groups of kids banded together and began shouting and taunting the first two trolley cops on the scene. Before long, 14 trolley cops in total were breaking up the group.
