Sheriff T.K. Waters said he witnessed one small group “popping wheelies, weaving in and out of traffic, just doing everything that they should not be doing on our roadways.”
Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said during a Thursday afternoon news conference that a large group of about 1,000 riders, mostly from out of state, flooded into Jacksonville to participate in a planned event dubbed “Grom Day 2.0.”
Waters said the undersheriff, who was with him, then called in a JSO helicopter to chase them as the riders drove around the city for several hours where they continued to speed, run red lights and ignore traffic laws. During the news conference, Waters showed traffic camera clips from around the city that showed huge groups of riders taking over roads.
