UPDATE: Noon Aug. 26 — The Columbus Police Department has confirmed three juvenile arrests Friday night in connection with the incident at the Carver-Spencer football game.

Two 15-year-olds and one 16-year-old were arrested outside of A.J. McClung Stadium on weapons charges, a Columbus Police spokesperson said. Their names are not being released because of their ages.

Three guns, including one that was reported stolen, were confiscated.

Two of the teenagers were taken into custody when they were seen brandishing the guns, according to the police department.
