Gilbert Police Officers sprayed brawling partygoers at a wedding reception with pepper spray Saturday night, police said.

An officer responded to a call in the 3200 block of S147 Place, near Lindsay Road, and was told upon arrival that partygoers were "killing each other" in the backyard, police said Monday.

The officer observed a large fight, but was ignored when he attempted to break it up, police said. He then sprayed the disruptive partygoers with pepper spray, which caused the guests to become angry and aggressive, police said.

Other officers responded to the scene to help break up the fight.

Police had to restrain 28-year-old Angela Davito after she charged after another guest, according to the report. Davito kicked an officer and was arrested on suspicion of assault and obstructing governmental operation, police said.

The Gilbert Fire Department treated several partygoers for pepper spray exposure
