A drunk couple aboard a cruise ship forced their way into a neighboring cabin and assaulted a family after being asked to quiet down during an argument, a Florida sheriff said.
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey detailed how suspects Gannon Jacox and his girlfriend, Brooklyn Hicks, saw their vacation end early after they were arrested at Port Canaveral, according to a statement released Sunday.
The couple were allegedly intoxicated when a family staying next to them asked them to quiet down, which apparently bothered Hicks, according to Ivey.
She allegedly went to confront the family, with Jacox right behind her, recording on his cellphone and reportedly egging her on to beat them up.
‘The suspects then pushed their way into the victims’ room, which included a 9-year-old child who was inside the room!’ Ivey wrote.
‘As a fight ensued, Jacox ended up hitting all three people (including the child), and Hicks was just swinging, hoping one would land.’
The boyfriend sustained a severe eye injury that could be seen in his smiling mugshot, while his girlfriend chose the typical blank expression.
The sheriff added that, thankfully, none of the victims were seriously injured.
Typical. Ignorant. Feckless.
