UPDATE, SEPT. 29: A 27-year-old man has been arrested for a widely publicized fight with a 63- year-old man over movie theater seats in Pompano Beach, the Broward Sheriff’s Office announced Friday.
Jesse Montez Thorton II, 27, faces one count of aggravated battery with great bodily harm. “BSO detectives worked this case for months,” BSO spokeswoman Claudinne Caro said in a news release. “The video and information about this callous attack received national and international media attention and generated leads, including an anonymous tip through Broward Crime Stoppers.” Caro said detectives identified Thorton as the suspect in the attack and he was taken into custody Thursday with assistance from Fort Lauderdale police.
As of Friday morning, Thorton was being held at the Broward County Main Jail in lieu of a $250,000 bond. UPDATE: The man attacked at an AMC Theater in Florida earlier this month in a dispute over reserved seats has spoken out about the incident.
NBC Miami interviewed the unidentified patron, who said he suffered a broken nose in the fight. “I couldn’t even get a defensive shot in,” the man told NBC Miami. “It happened so fast, he basically sucker-punched me is what he did.” The 63-year-old victim, who wished to remain anonymous, said he and his wife purchased VIP tickets for Insidious: The Red Door at the AMC Pompano Theater in Florida on July 10.
