Two Florida Teens Arrested for Social Media Stunts at Local Businesses
ORLANDO, FL — Two teenagers were arrested on Saturday afternoon after incidents involving a leaf blower and a lawnmower at a Culver's and a Target store, respectively.
According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the 17-year-old boys were filming stunts for social media when one crashed a lawnmower into the entrance of a Target at approximately 2:41 p.m. Witnesses reported that the mower caused minor damage to the store's facade.
Authorities said that earlier in the day, one of the suspects operated a leaf blower in a hazardous manner at the Culver's parking lot, creating a disturbance. No injuries were reported in either incident.
Emergency response teams arrived at both locations but did not provide medical assistance, as there were no reported injuries. Both teens are facing charges related to reckless behavior and property damage.
The sheriff's office is continuing to investigate the incidents and is reviewing video footage from both locations. The suspects are expected to appear in court later this week.
