Spring break chaos as pot-peddling teen, 16, on busy Florida beach, pulls gun right next to Sheriff’s Deputies before fleeing into ocean as panicked partygoers run for their lives

A teenager pulled a gun during a fight on a busy Florida beach earlier this week, before running through a crowd with the weapon and fleeing into the ocean.

Felixander Solis-Guzman, 16, was arrested Thursday by Volusia County Sheriff’s Office deputies after the incident in New Smyrna Beach.

Shocking footage shows Solis-Guzman fighting with four individuals on the busy beach before pulling out a firearm.

Agency officers had been on the beach at the time of the incident and gave chase when Solis-Guzman dispersed the partygoers, with one shouting, “He’s got a gun!”

The officer who recorded the incident can be seen running after the teen with his gun raised, yelling at the teen, “Okay, motherfucker, drop the damn gun.”

Solis-Guzman continues to flee the scene with officers hot on his heels and begins running towards the ocean.

Five officers can be seen with guns drawn pointing at Solis-Guzman as he stands in the water at the edge of the beach.

Solis-Guzman begins to obey the officers after several minutes and drops the gun and a bag in the water before surrendering.

As officers bring him in, large crowds of spring breakers can be seen watching the events unfold.

Officers recovered the firearm and the bag from the water, which contained twenty small plastic bags of marijuana.

The teen was charged with three counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, possession of a firearm by a person under 18 years of age, improper exhibition of a firearm, committing a second-degree felony with a weapon, resisting a law enforcement officer, 2 counts of tampering with evidence and selling marijuana.

In addition to his charges, he was also arrested on seven active warrants out of Orange County, including robbery with a firearm and probation violation.

He was taken to the Volusia Family Resource Center for treatment before being transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice.

On Friday, the Florida State Attorney’s Office said they had filed adult charges against Solis-Guzman and he would be transferred to the Volusia County Jail.

State’s Attorney RJ Larizza said, “This 16-year-old brought drugs and a gun to Volusia County over spring break.

“He will now face adult charges and serious consequences for his reckless actions.” We welcome spring breakers, as long as they behave.”

Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood added, “We don’t play around in Volusia County.

“Don’t let your child be the next to come here as a minor and end up facing a serious criminal as an adult.”

Groups of bikini-clad girls and jeering boys have flocked to Florida beaches as spring break began.

Some girls left little to the imagination and posed for photos in the ocean – presumably to make their friends stuck at home jealous of their tropical vacation.

Elsewhere, groups of half-dressed young people danced at daytime parties on beaches, in the backs of pickup trucks and on boats rented for the day.

As night fell on the beach, partygoers continued drinking late into the night as groups posed for photos outside bars and clubs.

During spring break last year, 488 arrests were made in Miami Beach, of which more than 230 were felonies, and more than 100 firearms were seized.

As a result, officials in Miami announced plans to implement stricter restrictions earlier this year.

City Commissioner Alex Fernandez, who urged Miami to announce this year’s spring break measures, sent an email to voters last weekend celebrating the quiet start to spring break.

In it, Fernandez wrote: ‘Don’t shoot. No stampede. No fatalities. What a difference.’ The city’s goal for weeks was to end Spring Break, which the New York Post said was a “failure.”

In a social media post whose headline used by the outlet was shared on social media, former Miami Mayor Philip Levine posted the headline with clapping hands emojis.

There was an increased police presence along the beach in Miami, with officers on bicycles, buggies and SUVs patrolling the area. Others were seen leading K-9s among sunbathers on the crowded sand.

In contrast, there was barely a patch of open sand to be found on some parts of Fort Lauderdale Beach, often called “Spring Break Central.”

Police and the mayor’s chief of staff in Fort Lauderdale said it had been a successful week with limited crime, as they looked ahead to a tougher challenge – with continued celebrations coinciding with St. Patrick’s Day.

Local police spokesperson Casey Liening told Fox News: “Our spring break crowds have been as expected so far this year, with this week being the busiest week we expect. We haven’t had any major problems or disturbances.’

Ahead of spring break, Mayor Dean Trantalis said there were designated areas where alcohol was allowed, as well as safety measures including date rape drug testing, rideshare options and Narcan.

During a press conference in early March, Trantalis said, “We want to make your spring break experience the best experience you’ve ever had.

‘Why? Because we want you to come back. We want you to come back next year. We want you to come back for years to come, and you might want to make Fort Lauderdale your home.”
