JANESVILLE — Police arrested seven juveniles and nine adults in connection with a gang-related dispute over the weekend.
At 9:13 p.m. Sunday, Janesville Police responded to the report of a fight in 400 block of Johnson Street, across from Fourth Ward Park.
The fight was the "end result of several days worth of rival gang-related activity," according to police reports.
