Police Arrested 45 At Racous Raiders Home Opener

 Raiders Team Page

OAKLAND (AP) ― Police say they arrested 45 Oakland Raiders fans and used stun guns to break up several fights at Monday night's game against the Denver Broncos.

The arrests for drunkenness, fighting, assault and drug charges were on top of dozens of ejections for minor offenses such as sitting in the wrong seat.

Authorities say three police officers were hurt when a brawl broke out as they attempted to detain a drunken man before the game.

Two of the officers suffered cuts and bruises when they were punched in the face. The third officer suffered a broken finger.

Oakland police spokesman Roland Holmgren says some people come to the game just to start trouble.
