Thousands of University of Michigan basketball fans took to the streets of Ann Arbor to celebrate the team's national championship, and police say there were a few problems.
Police officers lined South University near Church Street as students, some who spent Sunday night outside of bars, ran into the streets just before 11:30 p.m.
Two people were arrested and Ann Arbor firefighters extinguished more than 40 fires in connection with the post-game celebration. Multiple street signs were also damaged during the celebration, according to police.
