A Florida mother has been charged with inciting a riot of upwards of 400 people at a skating rink after owners cancelled her daughter's 18th birthday party.
Shocking video footage emerged back in May showing the moment the riot broke out at Astro Skate in the Tampa Bay area, leading to the arrest of 26 people.
Cops confirmed Thursday that Stephanie Pedroso, 36, has been arrested after she reportedly used her daughter's Instagram to encourage as many people as possible to turn up to the rink.
Pedroso was said to be seeking revenge on staff after they cancelled the private party when they discovered it was a larger event than she originally told them.
She has now been charged with unlawful use of a cellphone, inciting a riot and driving with a suspended or revoked license.
*** Astro Skate reportedly asked that Pedroso sign a contract stipulating she would hire an off-duty officer for security - which she failed to do.
She also allegedly broke the rink's rules by reselling tickets and posting unauthorized advertisements depicting something other than a kids' party.
According to owner Chris Maganias, Pedroso became angry and started a livestream on her daughter's Instagram urging people to come to the rink and confront law enforcement.
'We were within our rights to cancel her party and that's what we did,' he said.
’She came in, flipped out, cussed and screamed and posted nonsense about [coming] to the skating rink the next night.'

ANOTHER GHETTOPOTOMOUS
This isn’t going to end well. When empires crumble, ethnic clashes abound.
Do I see a racist accusation on the horizon?
Raised with not sense of civilized behavior, just entitlement, doesn’t end well.
This was madness. Not only was the skating rink attacked, but so were neighboring businesses. What does a barbershop have to do with her problem?
She’s an obvious idiot, but why did so many other people decide to participate? Too many in our society have lost the notion of civility.
What an asshole!
Anyone know why so many women are walking around in public with their breasts hanging out? NYC is like a women’s dressing room. More than usual, I mean.
5 years??
10 would be better!
And showing her offspring how to properly handle inconveniences.
Pro tip, Steph. When you incite a riot, don’t do it using a medium where everything is recorded in evidence against you.
That’s pretty good. I couldn’t get 10 people to show up at a riot.
Of course.
Ferals gonna feral.
OMG!! I didn’t even have to look.....and the name didn’t give it away either! It was the word RIOT that told me all I needed to know.
Unlawful use of a Cellphone??? WHAT?
This this thing is quite a piece of work...as are her participating “friends “. Deport them...and their extended families.
It’s the hoodies, always the hoodies. The uniform of the day.. Even in Florida in July, the bad guys always wear hoodies.
Sounds like she was trying to host a house party at the rink and was charging for admission.
That said, what in the world is “unlawful use of a cellphone”?????
36 with an 18 year old daughter... I bet the cycle will repeat!
We’ve spent more than half a century insisting that negroes are historically “oppressed”, that they’re innocent victims of “racism”, and that the world owes them a living.
This is the result.
Martin Luther King’s true legacy is casual thievery, chronic drug abuse, and mindless rioting.
