No Arrests After Hundreds Of Children Involved
According to Hillsborough County sheriff’s deputies, hun- dreds of children became in- volved in a fight at the Sky Zone Trampoline Park. Most of those involved in the fight, about 200, were teenagers. No arrests were made.
The business closed early to move everyone involved out- side. The fight continued in the parking lot.
Deputies said the brawl spilled over into nearby busi- nesses and they tried to track down the parents of those in- volved.
The sheriff’s office said they briefly detained and released one child, but made no arrests. It’s unclear if anyone was seri- ously hurt.
It is unclear how many se- curity guards were there when the fight broke out or what they may do to try and prevent something like this from hap- pening again.
