Officers were able to have all the parties calm down and the group said that they would be leaving shortly. All officers cleared without further incident.

• At 8:12 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Easton Road for a disorderly conduct report. When the officer arrived, he recognized the people from earlier in the day. One individual from the group approached the officer and informed him that he was trying to hold his sister back so she wouldn’t harm anyone. The officer was able to control the woman and separate her from the group. Due to the large number of individuals involved, officers requested backup from surrounding departments. Once the crowd was under control, the officers could identify all parties involved. Officers issued a non-traffic citation to a 21-year-old woman from Orange Park, Florida, for disorderly conduct. She was picked up by a co-worker and driven back to the hotel where they were staying.
