JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. \u2014 The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office said it arrested 13 people and recovered nine firearms during a \u201cSenior Skip Day\u201d event on Friday in Jacksonville Beach. <\/p>\n
Authorities were made aware of the event after monitoring \u201conline chatter\u201d that appeared similar to recent teen takeovers, such as the one that occurred at Blue Cypress Park in Arlington<\/a>.<\/p>\n The operation involved a partnership between the Jacksonville Beach Police Department and the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office\u2019s Community Problem Response and Gang Units. The agencies focused on identifying suspicious and dangerous behavior to maintain public safety.<\/p>\n Eight of the 13 individuals arrested face felony charges. This group includes three minors and five adults. The remaining five arrests were for misdemeanors, involving four minors and one adult.<\/p>\n In addition to the firearm recoveries, officers seized more than 100 grams of marijuana. The joint operation also resulted in the issuance of six traffic citations.<\/p>\n JSO stated the proactive approach was intended to prevent the gathering from escalating into a dangerous situation, as others have in the past. Just last month, four were shot at a \u201ctakeover\u201d event in Jacksonville Beach<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen there\u2019s potential for things to get out of hand in our community, we\u2019re ready,\u201d the department said in a statement on social media<\/a> regarding the arrests.<\/p>\n >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<<<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: <\/b>Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/b><\/a>]<\/b><\/p>\n [SIGN UP: <\/b>Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/b><\/a>] <\/b><\/p>\n Click here<\/b><\/a> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/b><\/p>\n Action News Jax Top Stories<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. \u2014 The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office said it arrested 13 people and recovered nine firearms during…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":693906,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5136],"tags":[7320,5229,7323,3188,723,7324,42423,7310,10765,93839,7327,16047,135711,3344,7325,290511,7326,60054,255472,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,24827,7322,7321],"class_list":["post-693905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-action-news-jax","tag-america","tag-cbs47","tag-fl","tag-florida","tag-fox30","tag-guns","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-beach","tag-jacksonville-beach-police-department","tag-jacksonville-fl","tag-jacksonville-sheriffs-office","tag-jax-beach","tag-marijuana","tag-northeast-florida","tag-senior-skip-day","tag-southeast-georgia","tag-takeover","tag-teen-takeover","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-weed","tag-wfox","tag-wjax"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116321700339935212","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=693905"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693905\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/693906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=693905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=693905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=693905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
