SCOTT, La. (ENN) - The Scott Boudin Festival was abruptly shut down on Saturday night after a plethora of fights on festival grounds.
The festival was shut down just as Chris Ardoin was mid-performance, around 11:30 p.m., at the festival on Saturday.
Prior to the shutdown, Ardoin announced to festival goers that officials said if there is any more violence, the festival would have to close.
Moments later, people began running as another fight broke out in the middle of the crowd. A staff member then announced that the festival would be shutdown. Police began escorting people out.
Rumors claim that a shooting occured, however, that claim has been confirmed false.
