Two tourists were arrested after getting into a fight over a golf cart and Disney World tickets in Wildwood, Florida.
Two female tourists got into a brawl over Disney World tickets and a golf cart and wound up instead behind bars.
Gina Danforth, 28, and Katherine Northrup, 31, of Missouri, allegedly got into a physical fight over the items while vacationing in Florida, states an arrest warrant affidavit from the Wildwood Police Department.
The women were in a home on the 5900 block of Roundell Way in Wildwood when Northrup allegedly became ‘belligerent’ and the two were separated, according to affidavit obtained by FOX 35 Orlando.
Cops arrived shortly before 11.30am and found Northrup with scratches on her stomach, neck and elbow.
Northrup claimed that Danforth ‘got into her face and was spitting’ and that she tried to get away but got grabbed by the hair, states the affidavit. Northrup said she then punched Danforth.
Emergency responders examined Northrup and then took her to Sumter County Detention Center.
Danforth said she was ‘not feeling well’ and was transported to a local hospital, before also being taken to the detention center.
Cops were not able to immediately determine who initiated the altercation because there were no credible witnesses, according to the affidavit.
Several others were inside the home at the time the fight broke out.
Northrup and Danforth were each charged with battery and were released after posting $1,000 bond, according to arrest records.
Their relationship was not clear.
It is not the only recent instance of a fight over a golf cart involving tourists.
Last month, an American woman and her husband were on holiday in Belize when he crashed a golf cart into a bar. A worker there allegedly threw a conch shell at the woman and struck her in the head, and she later died at a hospital. A local police commissioner at the time said her autopsy would determine if she died of an impact from the tossed shell or the cart accident.
