‘Unruly teens’ continue to plague FNOW
The teens who were a problem last September during Friday Night on White have returned, Bill Crabtree, the town’s communications and public affairs director, told the Wake Forest Town Board Tuesday night. Crabtree said he and others who had put up signs and appealed to parents to control their teens thought earlier this spring that the problem had been solved or lessened, but the most recent street concert demonstrated “the September problem is back.” The FNOW committee met, talked about the problem and decided on some further corrective actions. First, since the Wake Forest Police Department can assign only a limited number of officers to the concerts, they have asked for help from other departments. Franklinton and Youngsville will send three officers each to the Friday, May 10, concert and Fuquay-Varina and Apex will each send one officer. “There may be others, but those have been confirmed,” Crabtree said Wednesday.
