• Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young said the city should no longer market itself as a Spring Break destination.
• Officials put special event zones in place to allow doubled fines and vehicle impoundments for up to 72 hours.
• Police reported six firearms confiscated and four shootings responded to within a single 24-hour period.

Daytona Beach has officially declared a state of emergency following a weekend of violence. Local authorities also implemented an overnight curfew for minors to help restore order.

Law enforcement officials reported over 130 arrests and five shootings across Volusia County as massive crowds disrupted public order.
