Police in Wildwood took action to keep residents and visitors safe after a Memorial Day weekend filled with chaos and some violence caused unrest along the Jersey Shore.
A state of emergency was declared in Wildwood early Monday morning after police say an "irrepressible" number of calls involving an "extremely large number of young adults and juveniles" overwhelmed the department.
"Wildwood will not tolerate unruly, undisciplined, unparented children nor will we stand by while the laws of the state tie the hands of the police," Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano said in a statement. "We wholeheartedly support the City of Wildwood Police Department in protecting this community from these nuisance crowds on our boardwalk and in the city."
The chaos in Wildwood comes after large crowds of teenagers caused even more mayhem a few towns over in Ocean City, which ended with a teen being stabbed and several arrests.
