Hundreds of teens at a Tennessee Mini golf center wreaked havoc on the family entertainment premise after faulty game machines ate up their money. The chaotic scene at the Golf and Games Family Park at Putt-Putt Fun Center in Memphis was captured on video, and it was shared widely on Twitter. The video features the teenagers who had gone wild and were destroying property in the premise.
One girl receives a lot of attention in the video as she destroyed the plexiglass at the cashier counter before pulling the metal stands and throwing them at the staff workers. The girl is seen destroying stuff and throwing them at the workers as she screams. The girl is also seen in another part of the video spitting at one of the park employees. The riots started when the teenagers demanded refunds, which had been swallowed up by the faulty game machines.
According to the New York Post, the teenagers had formed a large crowd with no social distancing, some of them were not even wearing masks, and this is against the COVID-19 regulations. The park cashier had started the process of refunding the teenagers, but they became rowdy, making them halt the process.
When the teenagers were told that they could not get their refunds because of their disorderly manner, they went ahead to destroy property as they threw insults at the Golf and Games Family Park employees. Some threw napkin holders at the workers while one boy could be seen uprooting plants from flowerpots and throwing them at a car that was parked outside.
Someone called the police, who were able to calm the situation. The aggressive girl in the video was issued a juvenile summons for her disorderly behavior. The Park at Putt-Putt Fun Center manager, Aaron Boss, issued a statement the following day saying that they had never experienced such an incident for the 57 years they have been in business.
He said that parents dropped the teenagers at the facility, leaving them unsupervised. Some of the teenagers started causing a disturbance, forcing them to close the premise early. He added that he was grateful that none of the employees and customers was injured but promised to work with the police to make those responsible for the incident accountable. Aaron says that no teenager would be allowed in the premise in the future without the company of a parent.
