UPDATE @3:24 p.m.: An argument between a couple celebrating Cinco de Mayo at Kings Island Amusement Park sparked an incident that resulted in the indictment of an Oxford woman in Warren County, according to the county prosecutor.

“He wants to ride another ride. She wants to leave,” County Prosecutor David Fornshell said today.
