Standoff at Trailer Park Ends Peacefully
From Times Staff Reports
A standoff between state park rangers and a rowdy crowd at El Morro Village trailer park ended peacefully early Sunday, authorities said Monday.
Police from Laguna Beach and Newport Beach were called in after 11:30 p.m. Saturday to help disperse an estimated 300 to 1,000 people.
The group was “blowing off steam” over the mobile-home site being converted to a state park, said a parks official.
