Prom Dress Sale Turns Violent at Georgia Gas Station, Three Arrested

A dispute over a prom dress led to a physical altercation caught on video, with charges of battery and theft filed against three women.

An 18-year-old met her former friend, 20-year-old Morgan Flinchum, at a Gwinnett County gas station to sell a prom dress on February 26.
The dress, which originally belonged to Flinchum but was partially paid for by the seller's mother, was taken by a third woman waiting in the bathroom during the exchange.
A physical altercation ensued outside the gas station, with the seller reclaiming the dress and flipping one of the attackers to the ground in self-defense after being placed in a chokehold.
Police reviewed surveillance footage and later arrested Flinchum, Leila DeJager, and Kaylee George, charging them with theft by taking, and in some cases, battery.
Gwinnett County Police urged residents to conduct person-to-person sales at designated e-commerce parking areas monitored by law enforcement for safety.
