DESTIN, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - Reckless crowds tore through Panama City Beach last weekend, leading to gunshots and handcuffs. It seems the chaos from the east could be heading west as Destin takeover party invitations are starting to circle social media.

On Monday, Walton and Okaloosa County Sheriff�s Offices held a joint press conference at Pompano Joes in Destin to talk about spring break events, focusing on upcoming takeover parties.

Crab Island parties are being promoted for April 9 and April 22-24th.

�These takeover events. They�re not taking anything over. It�s not going to happen. We have plenty of occupancy at the Walton County Jail and we will do what�s necessary to make sure that happens,� Walton County Sheriff Michael Adkinson said.

Sheriff�s deputies are working together to keep things in control.

�We�re reaching out to both the rental companies and the homeowners that are advertising these types of takeover events. That is not what Walton County is about. That�s not what Okaloosa County is about,� Adkinson said.

I bet it's awful if you live down there or have a business or rental!

A lot has changed in the past two years. More enforcement. some curfews in place where unruly rich white kids hang. Other than the traffic and packed grocery stores caused by the turons things have been pretty quiet so far.

Historians of the future will have a hard time figuring out how so many organized groups of strident jackasses succeeded in leading us around by the nose and morally intimidating the majority into silence.

Lordy, lordy we have a @Wingnut gracing us with his illustrative and informative ponderings of the news.

Nice to have a plant who can inform about the second best place to live in America.

Here in Walton we have 26 miles of sugar white beaches on the Gulf. This time of year you can cut the smell of Hawaiian Tropic with a knife. And as for the Coed's, I get older but they stay the same age!.

My prayer for you during your advancing age is that neither your eyes nor your sense of smell may fail you.
