CLAIRTON, Pa. —

A large fight at a high school basketball game between Clairton and Monessen has resulted in disorderly conduct charges against a dozen people, including six juveniles, police said Friday.

Those being charged range in age from 16 to 31, according to Clairton police.

Disorderly conduct is a summary offense. All 12 people will be notified via summons; they can plead guilty by mail without a court appearance, or plead not guilty and request a hearing. The maximum penalty for an adult is 90 days in jail and a $300 fine.

Two of those people — Andrew Carr, 31, and his twin brother, Andre — told Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 that they are wrongly charged. The Carrs said they both coach baseball for Clairton, and that they were not part of the brawl.

“I had my 2-year-old son and my 6-year-old son. I hurried up and got my kids out of there before anything occurred. I didn’t want my kids to see that fight like that,” Andrew Carr said.

“I didn’t even step on the court,” he added. “I grabbed my kids, I grabbed their coats, I got out of there. If they actually look at the video, you will see me.”

“I was next to him, grabbing his other son,” Andre Carr said. “He has two kids.”

The brawl broke out near the end of a boys basketball game at the Clairton gym Feb. 6. Police said one Clairton player and one Monessen player hit each other, and the situation quickly escalated to involve some fans who were in attendance.

No assault charges were filed.

“Throughout the course of the investigation, victims who were assaulted were given an opportunity to come forward so that officers can properly charge those responsible for causing injury,” police said. “As of this date, not one victim has come to police.”

A police investigation into a brawl that broke out during a Clairton-Monessen high school basketball game earlier this month has led to charges filed against 12 people, officials announced Friday.

Six teenagers and six adults each face a count of disorderly conduct, Clairton police chief Robert Hoffman said.

“This comes at the recommendation of the Allegheny County District Attorney’s office,” Hoffman said.

Police gave victims who were assaulted a chance to come forward and file charges, but none did, according to Hoffman.

There were no reports of serious injuries in the fracas that at one point reportedly involved as many as 100 people , including spectators who swarmed the basketball court at Clairton Education Center on Feb. 6.

The fight began with one player from each team throwing punches with 4 minutes, 26 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

Within seconds, the situation escalated as fans left the bleachers and piled onto the court, Hoffman said.

Four school police officers and two security guards requested backup from more than 10 municipal police departments — Allegheny County, Elizabeth Township, Glassport, McKeesport, Port Vue, Lincoln, Versailles, Jefferson, Liberty and Elizabeth borough and township police.

Clairton firefighters responded to help ventilate the school after pepper spray was used, the Mon Valley Independent reported. One police officer and one Monessen basketball player had minor injuries.

The incident prompted Clairton City School District to stop selling tickets to fans at games, stating that only players and parents would be allowed to attend amid the investigation.

Pending the investigation into Tuesday night’s basketball game, tonight’s athletic event 2/9/18 will be closed to the public, with the exception of parents & guardians of participating student-athletes. We thank you for your cooperation. #gobears #wpial pic.twitter.com/qElOsEAFlP
