About 100 officers provided security for the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;Most people are down there to have a great time, and, of course, you always have those people who come down there who have different things on their mind,&#8221; Smith said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">State Attorney of Orange and Osceola counties Andrew Bain said the case has not yet been turned over to this office.
