Mayor: Spring breakers are turning to violence, not the Lord

(NewsNation) — For years, beach towns courted spring breakers, but rowdy behavior and rising violence now have some declaring the party over. Stuart Tettemer, the mayor of Panama City Beach, Florida, says the town has changed, but young people are still being sold a 'decadeold' version of spring break by 'short-term slumlords' and 'outdated club promoters.' Popular Florida city 'no longer a spring break town' 'We're a family-friendly destination and small town,' Tettemer told NewsNation's Leland Vittert in an 'On Balance' interview. But many spring breakers still see the area as party central — a misconception that, according to Tettemer, has led to a 'change in the security environment' as more young people flock to town. Miami Beach, other popular spring break destinations issue new rules 'Instead of turning to the Lord, they're turning to violence,' the mayor said. 'That party environment draws predators,' Tettemer continued. 'They quite frankly don't know how to act in public.' Tettemer issued a warning to anyone set on coming to town and breaking the law: 'We will find you, we will arrest you, and we will put you in jail.'Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
