Sheriff responds after social media post claims weekend takeover of Pensacola Beach
PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla. — Law enforcement has been made conscious of an occasion by means of social media declaring a takeover of Pensacola Beach this weekend.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is planning to extend its presence out on the seaside as a precaution.
“The bottom line is you’re not going to take over Pensacola Beach,” Sheriff Chip Simmons mentioned.
Sheriff Simmons says he finds the concept that somebody would even assume to do that “kind of crazy.”
After the occasion started making rounds on social media, the sheriff’s workplace discovered the organizer. After assembly him, he backed down on the invitation.
The sheriff’s workplace defined to him that this occasion, if held, can be unsanctioned. Therefore, the organizer can be liable for the turnout.
“He’s no longer inviting people to go to the beach,” Simmons mentioned.
Sheriff Simmons says the division has shut down different occasions, just like this one, saying this isn’t one thing the division will ever tolerate.
