A PROM dress sale ran in a total fight on a Georgia filling station, with one of the alleged Perps that was turned around and hit the body while she tried to stitch the 18-year-old seller.
The violence broke out at a Racetrac gas station in Gwinnett County – about 30 miles outside Atlanta – where the victim now met her former friend Morgan Flinchum, 20, to sell her the dress on February 26, the police told the police Fox 5 Atlanta.
The dress initially belonged to Flinchum, but was in possession of the victim because her mother had helped to pay for it, and Flinchum contacted her to buy it downright, according to the police report.
When the victim met her former friend, Flinchum asked if they could go into the bathroom of the gas station to try it, with which she agreed.
However, when they came to the bathroom, a friend of Flinchum’s waited and pulled the dress away from the victim and ran.
The victim chased the thief of the dress and caught up with her, but a struggle followed and migrated to the gas pumps.
The seller’s boyfriend came into action and was able to take his girlfriend’s dress from one of the attackers, but the things escalated alone.
Surveillance images caught the moment a violent fight broke out and shows the battle between the victim, her boyfriend and the alleged Prom dress thieves.
At one point, one of the Perps gets the smaller victim in a choke position from behind, but she was able to turn the aggressor over her back and hit her on the floor.
The fight ended with the Gwinnett County police who responded to stage and revised the surveillance images.
An investigation resulted in the arrests of Flinchum, Kaylee George and Lelia Dejager, who all hand in, the police said.
Flinchum and Dejager are charged with battery and theft, and George has been accused of going through theft.
“I would say it is not normally something that we have to investigate, an argument about a PROM dress,” CPL. Juan Madiedo told Fox 5 Atlanta.
The Gwinnett County police said that the violent fight should be an example of the reason why people should always sell in a public place with cameras from person to person.
The department said that all its districts have designated parking spaces that are followed by video to guarantee a safe sales transaction.
“Here in Gwinnett County, all our police districts, including our head office here, have designated e-commerce parking,” said Madiedo.
“We invite every citizen who, if you want to make a transaction, want to sell items or buy an item online, that person meet at one of our designated e-commerce locations.”
