Youth Football Cheerleader Fight Leads To Five Arrests
For the second day in a row, a youth football game led to violence, this time, in St. Petersburg. There is no video of the fight, but the fact that it took 10 police officers to stop the brawl makes me hope that someone, somewhere, is just waiting for a chance to upload the video to YouTube. Two cheerleaders and two civilian teens were arrested in the parking lot brawl.
Yolanda Jones was the only adult arrested after the fight at JC Turner Field in South St. Petersburg. Jones told police she was trying to protect her cheerleader daughter who had come under attack. The coach, who is also Jones’ daughter, said she joined the fight too. “We started fighting, because that other girl didn’t like my mouth,” said Darricka Maddox.
