Spring Break reached rowdy new heights outside Savannah, GA … as several violent fights broke out, despite increased police presence.
Thousands flocked to Tybee Island this past weekend for the annual Orange Crush gathering … and it didn’t take long for chaos to ensue. Videos from the party weekend show countless intoxicated attendees doing everything from littering to fighting.
Check it out … a group of women are seen wailing on each other, with one fighter ripping the bathing suit top off another. Few intervene in the brawl … choosing instead to film the fight on their respective phones.
Partygoers also trashed the island’s picturesque beaches … as large amounts of garbage notably made its way into the ocean after being discarded on the sand.
Heading into the Spring Break weekend, Tybee Island increased its police presence … with cops stationed at all road points. Remember, Savannah State University severed its ties with Orange Crush in 1991 after violent incidents and a drowning tainted the festival.
The party weekend returned in 2020 … before taking another hiatus sparked by the pandemic. Now Orange Crush is back — seemingly wilder than ever … with tens of thousands of people overrunning the 3-mile island.
Major Bob Holley of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources tried to paint a more peaceful picture of the weekend. He told WSAV3 … “We have a little bit heavier of a presence, which gives a little bit of a safer environment for people. I think when there’s a good law enforcement and public safety presence, people can relax and when they can relax things tend to go well.”

It seems the major needs to take a peek on social media for a clearer account of what went down.
