A 600 person brawl in Jacksonville, Florida resulted in the arrest of 5 people on Christmas Day. According to ABC News, the fight started when a group of people tried to barge into the Hollywood River City movie theater without buying a ticket.
An off duty police officer working security used pepper spray on several peiople who tried to rush him. Afterwards he locked the doors and called for backup.
Lauri-Ellen Smith, a spokeswoman for the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said the free-for-all in the parking lot started soon afterwards.
"Upward of 600 people moving throughout a parking lot about the size of a football field began fighting, disrupting and jumping on cars,” she told ABC News.
62 police officers were needed to stop the fights and disperse the crowd. 5 people were arrested at the scene. Three were hit with felony charges.
Tevyn Alonza Davis, 19, was charged with resisting arrest and breach of the peace. Jaquade Marquis Miller, 18, was charged with fighting and resisting arrest. Khalil Ahmad Bradley, 17, the only minor charged with a felony, was arrested for resisting arrest, refusal to disperse and breach of the peace.
All three reportedly “took an aggressive stance” when confronted by police and ordered to get out of the parking lot.
