Police in Rice Lake say last week’s backfiring car caused a ‘panic’ at the local middle school football game.
Officers rushed all over town last Thursday because of reports of gunshots. One of those reports came from Rice Lake Middle School, where there was a football game at the time. Officers say coaches dove on players, while parents rushed other kids off the field. No one was hurt, and there never was a gun. Police eventually found two men who were driving the car that backfired. They’re now looking at disorderly conduct charges.
