Last night in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, there was a large gathering at Jimmy's Market associated with the Slammedenuff Car Show. The event, which had drawn huge crowds over the weekend, escalated into chaos with engines revving, tire spinning, fights breaking out, and people climbing on cars and gas pumps. The crowd became so disruptive that the business decided to close early and asked police to clear the parking lot. Multiple law enforcement agencies, including Pigeon Forge and Sevierville police, the Sevier and Blount County Sheriff's Departments, and the Tennessee Highway Patrol, responded to the scene. Police monitored the crowd briefly before leaving for safety reasons, after which the crowd eventually dispersed. No shots were fired, and no tear gas was used. Due to the disturbances and safety concerns, the city of Sevierville canceled the final day of the Slammedenuff Car Show scheduled for Sunday. There was also a report of a minor stabbing that did not happen at Jimmy's Market, and the injured person declined hospital transport. Organizers of the car show have condemned the disruptive actions and are issuing refunds for the canceled day.
