3 arrested after large crowds swarm Bardstown Road for second straight weekend
This story was updated to include new information and add video. Three people were arrested after crowds attempted to take over a busy section of Bardstown Road in the Highlands in the early morning hours of June 1. Antayvia Brown, 22, and Jakaya Snyzer, 20, were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct after the incident broke out in the 1000 block of Bardstown Road. A 16-year-old girl was also arrested, officials said. Brown also faces a trespassing charge for being found on the property of a Chipotle location in the area, according to an arrest citation. Louisville Metro Police spokesperson Dwight Mitchell said Fifth Division officers responded to large crowds on Bardstown Road at around 1 a.m. As the situation escalated, multiple fights occurred which required involvement from the department's rapid response team. "We recognize the disruption this caused to residents and businesses in the area and appreciate the public's cooperation and patience," Mitchell said. "Our officers remain committed to maintaining peace and protecting the safety of all community members."

The recent incident follows crowds of hundreds blocking roadways and causing disturbances over Memorial Day weekend after several bars closed in the area. Nearby establishments include Highlands Tap Room, Atomic Sound Club & Game Yard and The Hub Louisville, with some staying open until 4 a.m. While crowds dispersed with no violence and the roads quickly reopened, the incident sparked conversations around public safety. Councilman Ben Reno-Weber, whose district includes the Highlands, previously said he was working with LMPD to assign a detail squad to Bardstown Road on Friday and Saturday nights when large groups are in the area. LMPD also said the department would take the initiative to increase police presence and deter crime in the neighborhood, including closing and limiting access to select parking lots, installing additional surveillance cameras and working with local business owners to prevent trespassing. Business owners are encouraged to file a Trespass Enforcement Request Form, which authorizes officers to address trespassing without an on-site complaint, LMPD said. Reno-Weber said June 2 that the Highlands Tap Room has agreed to a voluntary and temporary 2 a.m. closure on Friday and Saturday nights and that he's grateful for a proactive response over the weekend from LMPD and Alcoholic Beverage Control. The councilman said he'll continue working with partners to adjust business closing times and block parking lots to trespassers, as well as preserve the area as "welcoming to those who want to respect their neighbors and unwelcoming to those seeking to cause trouble." "Going forward if this kind of behavior continues, expect to have cars towed, tickets issues, and, for those who persist in instigating fights or blocking roads, more arrests made," he said.
