KANKAKEE, IL – A parking disagreement escalated into a large altercation Tuesday afternoon in Kankakee, drawing a response from city police.
According to the Kankakee City Police Department, officers were dispatched just before 12:30 p.m. to the 200 block of Crestlane for a report of a fight in progress. When they arrived, police allegedly found roughly a dozen people gathered, reportedly shouting and arguing over a parking space.
