FRIDAY NIGHT IN ROSEMARY BEACH: Walton County Sheriff's Office responded to a call on Beach Bike Way to a large number of people fighting outside of a home.
When deputies arrived, several foot chases ensued. Four subjects, three juveniles, and an 18-year-old were quickly detained.
Contact was made at the residence, and it was determined the fight was started by two intoxicated juveniles who walked up on the porch of the victims offering to sell them alcohol.
When the victims refused and tried to escort the juveniles off of the property one of the juveniles began punching one of the victims in the face. Adults inside the home, who were family to the victim, tried to defuse the fight while two more subjects who were friends of the juveniles came up to the porch and began hitting the victim.
A large fight took place where multiple victims in their 60's were injured including bruising and a chipped tooth. One of the adults in the residence who did not want to press charges had a broken arm.
Arrests were made on all four subjects, three juveniles and one adult, who had just turned 18, for battery. All were from Atlanta, Georgia.
Thoughts:
Not sure why the victims wouldn't press charges. That's stupid. If it were me I'd not only press charges, I'd sue the sht out of whoever owns the rental property these thugs were in. Rosemary Beach is a high end resort town with multi-million $$$ homes - this isn't some crappy motel. I have no doubt the home got trashed as well and that's what you get when you rent your property to gangs of Atlanta thugs.
Rosemary Beach is about 20 mins from me, I go there often to the farmer's market.
