Clashes between officials and fans at a game between Georgia and Florida that is currently under review

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is reviewing online videos that show police officers beating fans during Saturday's Florida-Georgia game at EverBank Stadium.

Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan said she spoke with Sheriff TK Waters about altercations at the rivalry game known as “The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.”

“I am aware of several disturbing videos circulating [Saturday’s] Game,” Deegan wrote on X on Sunday. “We are awaiting the outcome of this investigation.”

The sheriff's office said Sunday it would not comment until the review is complete.

“The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Professional Standards Division is aware of videos circulating from the Georgia-Florida football game. Administrative reviews of the incidents are currently underway. Therefore, the agency will not comment until all facts are known and reviews are completed,” the office said.

A video shows two officers fighting with two spectators in the stands. Surrounding fans could be heard yelling at officers to stop.

A second video shows an argument between a man and two JSO officers escalating into a fight, leaving the man with a bloody face and bound hands after being shot repeatedly with a stun gun.

None of the videos showed circumstances leading up to the altercations.
