Mistletoe Gala Fair: Fight captured on video at Wednesday’s event

CLINTON, Miss. — An altercation between two unidentified white men made the rounds online at the Mistletoe Gala on Wednesday night, with one of the men being restrained by Hinds County officers.

The video, originally posted by the Clinton Courier on its Facebook page, shows an unidentified man in a blue suit being restrained by Hinds County sheriff’s deputies and then kicking another unidentified man in a black suit.

The man in the black suit then punches the “blue suit” several times, including a punch to the face. The video ends with a woman trying to take the camera away from the person filming the exchange, repeatedly saying, “Put that down, that’s my husband, that’s my husband.”

It is unclear what caused the altercation, and the men involved in the altercation have not been identified. There is no information available from the Hinds County Sheriff’s Department at the time of this reporting.

The Mistletoe Gala is the annual launch celebration for the Mistletoe Marketplace. The event is a holiday tradition presented by the Junior League of Jackson. Since the first Mistletoe Marketplace in 1981, the event has grown into the South’s premier holiday shopping event with spectacular special events.
