MILWAUKEE (AP) — A police report says six Marquette University basketball players were involved in an altercation at a Milwaukee nightclub where they were ticketed for being underage.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/I6VIyo) obtained the police report through an open records request filed Feb. 29. A partial report released March 20 made no mention of an altercation involving members of the team.

In the newly released report, the newspaper says, investigators describe a chaotic situation that ultimately resulted in 11 squad cars being dispatched to the club, Apartment 720, on Jan. 29.

The report details at least two large fights at the club that night, but does not make clear which altercation involved the players. The six were ticketed for being in the club, but not for their alleged involvement in an altercation.
