Tybee Island's Orange Crush event sees decrease in arrests and increase in business.
At least 18 people were arrested during the Orange Crush Festival on Tybee Island, which was attended by an estimated 50,000 college students. The weekend was marred by shootings, fights, and other chaos, with videos circulating on social media showing intoxicated revelers dancing and fighting. One person was wounded in a road-rage shooting, and police responded to reports of gunfire and fights throughout the weekend. The festival gained a reputation for being out-of-control in the 1990s, and Tybee Island's mayor has acknowledged that this year's event was "too large and chaotic."
