A prom dress sale outside of a Georgia gas station quickly turned into a brawl, leading to the 18-year-old seller body-slamming the perpetrator who was choking her. On February 26, the victim met up with a former friend, 20-year-old Morgan Flinchum, to sell her prom dress.

Prom Dress Sale Turns Into Violent Brawl
This wild incident occurred in Gwinnett County at the RaceTrac gas station, according to Fox 5 Atlanta. Flinchum asked to go try to dress on in the gas station bathroom, so the two girls went inside. This seemed to be apart of Flinchum's plan as one of her friends was waiting for her. The third woman snatched the victim's dress and ran away.
Surveillance footage captured the moment when the seller ran outside to follow her. Suddenly, three women surrounded her by the gas pumps, but the victim's boyfriend managed to take back the dress. Unfortunately, this sparked a brawl, despite it being in broad daylight amid other customers filling up their vehicles.
The footage showed one of the suspects choking the 102-pound victim from behind. Despite her small stature, the victim managed to body slam the woman who had grabbed her neck. Finally, the violent altercation came to a close once Gwinnett County police responded to the incident.
It didn't take long for them to review the surveillance footage and see who had started the entire thing. After a quick investigation, police arrested Flinchum and her two friends, Kaylee George and Leila DeJager.
After the three girls turned themselves in, police laid out different charges against them. They charged Flinchum and DeJager with battery and theft by taking and George with just theft by taking.
This was quite the unusual altercation for the police department in Gwinnett County. "I would say it's not normally something we have to investigate, an argument over a prom dress," said Cpl. Juan Madiedo to the outlet.
These cruel girls tricked the poor 18-year-old into thinking this would be a simple prom dress sale. The police advise people doing in-person sales like this to pick Gwinnett County police designated locations. There are designated parking spots at all of the department's precincts that are video monitored. This way, people can perform in-person sales safely and correctly.
