An officer responded to the 200 block of Gibson Boulevard in Clark shortly after midnight, after receiving a report of a “fight involving a baseball bat,” police said. Upon arriving to the scene, the officer witnessed several vehicles fleeing the area. The fight had allegedly spilled into a parking lot of an apartment building, but ended before police could arrive.
