St. Louis Curfew Calms Fourth of July Chaos | St. Louis News

St. Louis cracked down on post-fireworks chaos this Fourth of July with a bold new curfew: teens under 18 must be with an adult after 9 p.m. in downtown. After a delayed Gateway Arch show sent thousands flooding the streets, police saw a dramatic drop in wild fireworks and unruly behavior — just 41 arrests Saturday, up from two the night before. The city’s mayor and police say the curfew, now extended through Labor Day, is working — and they’re urging parents to keep tabs on their kids. It’s a smarter, safer way to celebrate the holiday.
