It was an explosive night at the TNT Lounge.
Clay County police began investigating a wild fracas at the Middleburg tavern on July 26 after footage of the incident was posted to social media, the department said in a press release.
The footage taken in the parking lot outside the bar shows people being kicked in the head, females yanking each other’s hair, and several people appearing to have been beaten unconscious.
Within 24 hours, the agency said it had identified every participant in the rumble and learned that the fight sparked from a dispute between two adults before others jumped into the fray.
All told, 11 people — including four minors — were taken into custody and hit with charges ranging from battery to disorderly conduct.
One suspect was hit with elevated raps for allegedly hitting a combatant over the head with a beer bottle and kicking someone in the head.
A 26-year-old bartender was also arrested or serving alcohol to minors on the night in question.
“We sincerely appreciate the assistance of those who reported the videos, as well as everyone who cooperated with this investigation,” CCSO said.
