Georgia spring break leads to 54 arrested in Savannah during beach bash amid booze-soaked brawls, beach flooded with trash

The party was over for dozens of party animals amid an out-of-control booze-fueled spring break bash in Savannah, Ga. last weekend.

Tybee Island Police arrested 54 rowdy spring breakers and issued 116 citations during the massive “Orange Crush” beach rager at the tourist hotspot.

Authorities also recovered three stolen firearms and a stolen vehicle during the Island festivities.

While the number of arrests seems high for Orange Crush weekend, the number of partyers who landed in cuffs decreased from five years ago

In 2019, eighty-one people were arrested during the event, which crammed as many as 50,000 college students on the tiny 3-square-mile island on average.

However, the Island community leaders were ready to take on the historically boisterous crowd.

Local leaders implemented unprecedented traffic and public safety measures after last year’s event, which became violent and chaotic, according to AJC.

Over 100 additional police officers from the Georgia State Patrol, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, and other local police departments were called last weekend to help Tybee Island’s 12-person police force maintain order.
