Mistletoe Gala Mess: fight caught on video at Wednesday’s event

CLINTON, Miss. – An altercation at the the Mistletoe Gala Wednesday evening has been making the rounds online between two unidentified white males, with one of the men being restrained by Hinds County deputies.

Originally posted by the Clinton Courier on their Facebook page, the video shows an unidentified man in a blue suit, restrained by Hinds County sheriff deputies, and then kick another unidentified man in a black suit.
