Two Wildwood women were arrested after they allegedly encouraged teens to engage in a fight, a video of which eventually wound up on Facebook.
Wildwood police received multiple 911 calls about a fight at about 4:30 p.m. Saturday in the 800 block of Pleasantdale Drive in Wildwood.
Their investigation revealed that 35-year-old Ava Madrigal had driven her 15-year-old niece, several other juveniles and adult family members to the location at which the fight then broke out, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department.
Police found that the two 15-year-old girls punched, kicked and pulled each other’s hair before one of the girls deployed a Taser on the other girl, the arrest report indicated.
The mother of the other girl, 37-year-old Angela Marie Cornell, stood by and did not try to break up the fight, the report said.
A video of the fight was later posted to Facebook.
Cornell and Madrigal were each arrested on Tuesday on charges of cruelty toward a child. Both were booked at the Sumter County Detention Center and released after posting bond.
