A drunk Ohio couple allegedly barged into a family\u2019s cabin after being told to quiet down and attacked them, including striking their 9-year-old, police said. <\/p>\n

Gannon Jacox, 29, and his girlfriend Brooklyn Hicks, 28, were arrested on Saturday evening at Port Canaveral, about 40 miles from Orlando International Airport, following the dust-up on the ship, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey wrote on the department\u2019s Facebook page.<\/p>\n

The suspects, both from Ohio, \u201cwere apparently arguing loudly after taking advantage of some adult beverages\u201d when one of the victims asked them to quiet down \u2014 prompting the pair to confront the victim and get in their face outside the family\u2019s cabin door, Ivey wrote.<\/p>\n

The allegedly drunken passengers then \u201cpushed their way into the victim\u2019s room,\u201d where Jacox began attacking two adult victims and their 9-year-old child, Ivey wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a fight ensued Jacox ends up hitting all 3 people (including the child) and Hicks was just swinging, hoping one would land,\u201d Ivey wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cJacox got a pretty gross injury to his eye, that was either caused by one of the victims or friendly fire from the Haymakers his girlfriend was throwing!\u201d<\/p>\n

None of the family members \u201cwere seriously injured in this ridiculous escapade,\u201d Ivey wrote.<\/p>\n

Jacox was charged with burglary with battery and child abuse without great bodily harm, while Hicks was charged with burglary with battery and battery-touch\/strike following the attack after the unidentified cruise ship returned to Port Canaveral, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

Both suspects were booked into the Brevard County Jail.<\/p>\n

Jacox is currently being held on a $31,000 bond, while Hicks is being held on a $6,000 bond, according to online records.<\/p>\n

Ivey noted that the weekend\u2019s cruise troubles had little to do with the summer heat \u2014 pointing instead to alcohol and poor judgment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s for sure the alcohol combined with an apparent lack of common sense!!\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Four cruise ships docked at Port Canaveral on Saturday \u2014 Royal Caribbean\u2019s Adventure of the Seas, Disney\u2019s Disney Treasure and Carnival Cruise Line\u2019s Mardi Gras and Carnival Freedom, according to the port\u2019s cruise ship schedule for Aug. 15, 2026.<\/p>\n

It remains unclear which vessel the suspects were staying on when they allegedly attacked the family.<\/p>\n

Following the arrests, Ivey used the incident as a warning to anyone thinking about getting rowdy on a cruise.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe moral of the story\u2026if you can\u2019t hold your liquor, then you definitely shouldn\u2019t be out in public causing a scene like this and injuring random people including a child!!\u201d Ivey wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if that memo is not clear enough for you then you might want to stay your butt out of Brevard County!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know the deal folks, break the law in Brevard County and I promise you the lodge will have a reservation with your name on it!!\u201d Ivey quipped. <\/p>\n
