UPDATE: Police retrieved the incident report for me this afternoon, which says that police proactively detailed an officer to the hotel due to the large number of attendees - some 900 people, the officer estimated. A fight broke out in the hotel lobby among a group of females. The fight was broken up, but one person, 19-year-old April Moore, refused to leave and was arrested.

On weekends, Baltimore Police no longer pay a spokesperson to be on call, and those manning the phones in the districts or specialized units are prohibited from giving us information. What we get are Twitter updates on major events such as shootings, serious stabbings and the like, and the public affairs office provides thrice-daily e-mails with the information available to them at that time.

So what to do when something happens over the weekend that isn't a major incident, but has residents asking around for information on what happened? Thanks to social media, we can crowdsource it. 

On Sunday morning, Stephen Brockelman, who on Twitter goes by @Baltimore21201, asked me about what seemed like a major police response at the downtown Sheraton. I put the question to my followers, and got a quick response: Another user said there had been a "Legends Ball" party at the Sheraton - party flier here - and apparently things got a bit out of hand.
