Cool wedding: guests shoving, fists flying and one stolen gun

By admin at 10 November, 2009, 6:15 am



Why don’t we get invited to weddings to this? We’re talking about the nuptials of Tasha C. Johnson and Markeith Brown at the Rusty Pelican Restaurant in Tampa. One guest didn’t like the groom tossing bills on the dance floor for kids to gather and said so. The groom and his brother confronted the guest. This led to a shoving match. Then other guests choose sides — and we don’t mean the bride’s or the groom’s side of the family. One person, supposedly drunk, was knocked or fell to the ground. Some guests told police that a brick was used to knock the man down. Before you knew it, 30 to 40 people were fighting. Officer Mike White was struck several times while separating the crowd. Then the brawl moved outside to a hotel parking lot. Malcom Anthony Hepburn, 30, wasn’t a guest.

But he reportedly got a cell phone call from someone saying the groom and his brother hit Hepburn’s cousin with a brick. Hepburn didn’t waste much time. He armed himself with a 40-caliber pistol and drove to the hotel, reports the St. Petersburg Times . Hepburn punched the groom’s father, knocking him to the ground before kicking his face and ribs, police said. Even the groom’s 74-year-old grandmother was choked by a female who hasn’t been identified yet. Cops arrested Hepburn and got the gun, which was stolen, by the way. So, think the couple will live happily ever after? More FloriDUH Update from FloriDUH headquarters: Because the Spam bot is such a pest, it’s taking longer for yourFlorida to post. Hang with us.
