Florida law enforcement officials arrested 23 juveniles and six adults after a wild brawl erupted outside a Brandon skating rink when a party was canceled on Saturday night.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to a call from an off-duty deputy at Astro Skate at about 9:20 p.m. on Saturday, requesting help with a large crowd that was fighting in the parking lot.
Investigators learned the fight broke out after a planned party was canceled when the individuals hosting the private party failed to hire an off-duty deputy for the event, which Astro Skate requires.
Since the requirement was not fulfilled, the party was canceled, and the organizers were provided with a refund.

A skating rink requires you to hire an off-duty deputy to provide security if you plan an event there?
That sure shows that they seem to have a lot of trouble at that place. Apparently that place draws a pretty rough crowd.
True. But a skating rink? I wouldn’t think that would be a typical hang out.
Gee, I wonder if Kelly McGillis and Harrison Ford are reminded about what it was like working on the movie Witness if and when they read stories like this?

A 400 person mob assembles without permission and the cops wait til there’s a riot before they do anything?!
Let's go Brandon.
Any excuse for a wild riot will do
Its what killed the public pool and Skate America in my town..
SK8 not H8!.........................
No pictures needed.
I’m piecing it all together. Skating rink. Wild fight. The conclusion is obvious:
The partygoers were members of the National Hockey League.
That reminds me when I went to the fights and a hockey game broke out.
LOL! At the rink in the article, they should’ve identified as hockey players and they’ might get off with a minor penalty.
But it was a peaceful riot. Just some schmucks blocking skater traffic.
It didn’t “break out.” Some person or people actually went on social media to tell the group to “go riot.” That may be a felony, and they should be pursued, and prosecuted as adults if under 18.
Ineresting your brought that up. DH and I just watched that movie last week. Very good.
Yes some people you can’t take any place without causing trouble no matte how short the leash is.
Yeah l already knew and it just gets worse
