Volusia County (Florida) Sheriff’s deputies arrested a 16-year-old male this week after he brandished a handgun in a crowd of spring breakers on New Smyrna Beach.
While the shore was packed with spring breakers Thursday, a fight broke out between a group of young men just north of Flagler Avenue, the Sheriff's Office explained in a Facebook post.

Deputies charged the teen, who immediately started running, gun in hand, toward the shoreline, CBS 12 reports.
The video shows deputies ordering the teen to drop the gun. He finally did so, dropping the pistol and a bag into the surf.
