Race for New Air Jordan Sneakers Turns Ugly at a Metro Atlanta Mall
The quest for some limited edition sneakers took an ugly turn early Friday morning outside the Mall at Stonecrest in Lithonia. DeKalb police say several people were arrested , including one woman who left two young ******** in her car, after the new Nike Air Jordan 11 Concords went on sale.
Hundreds of people began lining up just after midnight hours on Friday to get their hands on a pair of Nike's new $200 Michael Jordan sneakers. They were being sold at four different stores in the mall, though a limited number of pairs were available.
Apparently, some people could not wait until the mall opened its doors at 8 a.m. Police were called to the scene after a crowd of people apparently pried open the mall doors.
Police escorted most of the people back outside. At least four people were arrested in that incident. Police say more arrests could come as a result of the break-in.
