Wildwood backpack ban

City officials from Wildwood have voted on an emergency ordinance to stop unruly teens and young adults from their bad behavior on the boardwalk.

“When you act a fool, you bring life to bad behavior and were going to react to it, Mayor Ernie Troiano told NBC10.

This newly introduced ban is one of the of the solutions to prevent the rowdy crowds of teens carrying alcohol and weapons on the boardwalk. This ban comes on the heels of a chaotic Memorial Day weekend after the Mayor declared a state of emergency.

The ban goes into effect on Thursday, June 13. Teens and young adults will not be allowed to carry a backpack on the boardwalk from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m.

Anyone wearing a backpack during the restricted time will be given two warnings, written or oral. If you don't comply, you will be escorted to an exit ramp.
