Daniel Kennedy, an 18-year-old Palm Coast man, was arrested Feb. 25, after witnesses said he destroyed a Girl Scout cookie booth set up outside Walmart.
Kennedy approached the booth with his brother and mother, Erin Kennedy. The Kennedys asked for the $20 that they said one of the girls had stolen from them in the past. Erin Kennedy told a deputy that she has been struggling financially and needed the money.
When the two sons were denied the money, they demanded that the debt be paid in cookies. They were denied the cookies, so they knocked the cookies off and upset the table, according to witnesses. A woman at the table started to scream, so her husband, Thomas Ketchum, came to investigate, and he was punched multiple times and shoved against the wall. Daniel Kennedy was deemed to be the aggressor and was arrested.
A deputy reported, “The scene itself was mass chaos, with a table flipped over, multiple boxes of Girl Scout Cookies strewn all over the sidewalk, and frantic patrons everywhere.”
Daniel's 16-year-old brother's name was redacted from the report, but he was charged with disorderly conduct.
