Tybee Island Braces for Potential Violence During Upcoming Event

The Tybee Island Police Department is on high alert for another potential unpermitted event called Peach Fest, which is being promoted online. The police department is taking seriously a message circulating online that said there is "going to be a gang shootout on Tybee Island at Peach Fest so nobody go to Tybee this weekend." City leaders are calling in extra first responders and putting additional lighting out in parking lots at the south end of the island.
