PANAMA CITY BEACH — Local law enforcement officials say they will not tolerate tourists who bring crime to the Beach.
In a press conference on Sunday afternoon, Chief J.R. Talamantez of the Panama City Beach Police Department, Chief Mark Smith of the Panama City Police Department and Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford announced that one person had sustained non-life-threatening injuries in a shooting that day near the Waffle House on Front Beach Road.
The victim, an unnamed 21-year-old from Alabama, was shot in the foot.
"We're here today because people who have absolutely no respect for the law, or themselves for a matter of fact, have converged onto this beach," Talamantez said.

He also said officers found "several" people with guns at the scene of the shooting.
"I personally encountered an individual holding an AR-15 who is now in custody," Talamantez said. "We currently have three suspects (from) this incident detained at the police department being questioned.
"... The crowd that has been here this weekend — there is no words that can describe the way they have behaved themselves, conducted themselves and the amount of laws they have broken," he added. "We are doing the best to manage this situation."
As of about 7 p.m. Sunday, portions of Front Beach Road near where the shooting occurred were closed.
Ford noted that officers had confiscated about 50 to 60 guns over the weekend in Bay County.
"This community has been through this before, (and) this community has decided that this is not what we want," he said. "We have fought these battles, won these battles, and we're not going to let it happen again. We're going to do everything in our power to stop that.

“Flash mobs”
LOL.
Just declare a dusk to dawn curfew, ban the sale of alcohol, and be done with it.
L
Sale of alcohol on the beach already in effect............
Oh, is it amish spring break?
BLM and Antifa will be heading to PCB and Miami Beach now to riot, per their Democrat handlers.
Sounds like the old Atlanta Freaknik....maybe they should start calling it “Fleaknik.”
Maybe they should ban white supremacists and Trump supporters.

Well, to be honest some folks will push things as far as their permissive society allows. An extreme example of that would be those lily-white SS men from WW 2.
Crime is getting so bad in towns and cities it has now become acceptable at the Oscars. Biden did that.

I suggest making biker week and spring break the same time. Bikers are always good folks and rarely cause any problems at all. Solve a lot of problems
Gun grabbers!

“...one person had sustained non-life-threatening injuries in a shooting that day near the Waffle House on Front Beach Road.”
Probably got the hash brown order wrong.
Almost 40 years ago in my college days I didn't have 'Amish' spring break.
In fact, I personally didn't have any 'break' at all.
Too busy studying and working. Two jobs yet.
It happened around 4:00PM.
