A Movie Night Turned Brawl At Local IL Theater Raises Eyebrows

Local police in Illinois arrested a man after he got into a fight at a movie theater.

Brawl At Illinois Movie Theater

When I was younger, there used to be $1 movie theaters back where I grew up. It was the perfect hangout for broke teenagers looking for something to do. We usually went to the last showing on the night, which was around 10 pm.

I'll admit, we used to get a little rowdy at those theaters. We would sneak in beer and make loud comments during the movie. Our group got yelled at by adults a couple of times, but nothing really happened.

We could never get away with behavior like that these days. We would get kicked out, banned, and maybe even arrested. Even worse, some angry dude would try to come after us. Times sure have changed.

Nowadays, movies have gotten so expensive, other customers don't have the patience for obnoxious behavior in the theater. I feel like if you chew your candy too loudly, someone will try to fight you. It doesn't take much anymore.

A man in Illinois was arrested for battery at a movie theater. I can only imagine what set him off. The funny thing is that this is a nice theater in a good area. Plus, the suspect is in his 60s, so he should know better.

According to Patch...

Delbert T. Patterson, 62, of Chicago, was arrested about 6:30 p.m. Sunday at Classic Cinemas Theatre, 150 N. York St., on a charge of aggravated battery in a public place of amusement.

 

 

He was released.
