At midnight Monday, one Cleveland dispatcher said of those celebrating the win, “They’re not unruly. They’re just happy.”
Numerous individuals did, however, dance on top of a fire truck and a Cleveland police squad. The more imminent safety threat, according to police, was the incoming traffic in the downtown area. Two arrests were made, reported the cleveland.com.

Cleveland Police posted a photo via Twitter of those celebrating on top of the city’s fire truck to dispel the theft rumors, although noting the victory dances atop the fire truck were “not okay.”
