All's well that ends well!

The Alton Police were well prepared on Saturday with several observation posts set up around town, including at the Alton traffic circle, near Shibleys and in West Alton. They set up their posts in the morning and maintained radio communications and coordination until the Outlaws departed in the afternoon. I monitored their communications via scanner, and it was very clear that they were well aware of possible trouble between the Outlaws and Hell's Angels. Fortunately, there was no trouble and after lunch the Outlaws departed peacefully, not venturing to the Weirs.
