The last of five men arrested after a gang-related fight at a high school basketball game was placed on probation for two years Thursday.

Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Dean Mandros also ordered that Adrian Wright, 19, of 1762 Macomber St. complete an anger management program, be screened for mental health and substance abuse issues and complete any recommended treatment, and undergo random drug and alcohol testing.

Mr. Wright, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of riot on April 17, was one of five arrested after the Dec. 20 fight at Bowsher High School that stopped the Bowsher-Scott basketball game for about 10 minutes. A charge of participating in a criminal gang was dismissed as part of a plea agreement.
