The Sheriff’s Office released a statement but won’t comment on specifics until the review is complete.

“The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office’s Professional Standards Division is aware of the videos circulating from the Georgia-Florida football game,” the statement read. “Administrative reviews of the incidents are being opened. As such, the agency will not comment until all facts are known and the reviews have been completed.”

In the videos circulating online, one shows two officers struggling with two spectators in the stands. Surrounding fans allegedly yelled to stop.

Review ongoing for incident at Florida-Georgia game

The incidents at the game seem to have inconclusive video. Both did not show the circumstances that led to the confrontations with officers.

The Florida-Georgia game is an annual contest dubbed “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” in Jacksonville. The Sheriff’s Office officers responded to alleged incidents in the stands but it is unclear what caused the issues.
