Deputies Blame Gas Station Brawl On Stolen Smokes
FORT MYERS- Lee County authorities estimate more than 100 people were involved in a ruckus at a southwest Florida gas station.
Sheriff spokesman John Sheehan said authorities are still investigating the incident, but it appears the fight at the south Fort Myers gas station started over a stolen pack of cigarettes.
Six people, including two teenagers, were arrested after the incident.
Authorities say the crowd made its way to the RaceTrac gas station at around 1 a.m. Monday morning, after a teen night at a Cape Coral club ended. An officer estimated the crowd's size was about 200 people in a report.
