ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. \u2013 Nine teenagers were arrested after fights broke out during an unsanctioned \u201cTeen Takeover\u201d at ICON Park Saturday, Orange County Sheriff John Mina revealed Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome are charged with battery, some are charged with resisting law enforcement, some are charged with battery on a law enforcement officer,\u201d Mina said. \u201cSo it comes with significant penalties.\u201d <\/p>\n
Mina told reporters that he had personnel stationed at ICON Park ahead of the surge of crowds due to chatter online.<\/p>\n
News 6\u2019s Mike Valente asked Mina if there were any common denominators in the teens\u2019 conversations with deputies that could speak to what had drawn them to attend the \u201cTeen Takeover\u201d at ICON Park Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, just a thing to do because they know there are going to be a lot of kids their age there and something to do,\u201d Mina said.<\/p>\n
He said that more than 1,000 teenagers showed up before the situation devolved and fights broke out. Two deputies suffered minor injuries as they tried to break up the fights.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s hard to corral,\u201d Mina said. \u201cBut eventually we were able to get them to clear out of the park.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mina also said he is aware of intentions for another \u201cTeen Takeover\u201d on May 9.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo those people who might plan on going there, just know that we are going to have dozens and dozens of deputy sheriffs there,\u201d Mina said. \u201cWe will have transport vans ready to take you away in handcuffs if you break the law.\u201d<\/p>\n
