A full day of Ocean City's unofficial H2Oi car event continued to be eventful with a brief clash, a show of support by local businesses and a stark warning from Ocean City's mayor.

Saturday, the first full day of a non-sanctioned version of the H2O International car event, was filled with thousands of people, cars and police. Officially, it was moved out of Ocean City to Atlantic City, New Jersey, two years ago.

However, its second year of people still coming to Ocean City to celebrate H2Oi was marked with ongoing issues with visitors to the resort for the event, which included police breaking up an event that resulted in a type of pepper spray being deployed and objects being thrown at police.

It came after Friday night, where streets were full of smoke from burnouts, fireworks were set off in the median of Coastal Highway and two people were filmed suffering minor injuries after being struck by a BMW.

The town's mayor, Rick Meehan, said Sunday morning that local and state officials must work to change the situation drastically and immediately.

"What took place this past weekend in Ocean City can never happen again," Meehan wrote. "This group came to town with the sole purpose to raise havoc in our community, to disrupt our lives and defy law enforcement."

Police, enthusiasts clash throughout the day Saturday

According to social media posts, H2Oi participants and police clashed briefly Saturday evening in the area of 14th Street and Baltimore Avenue.

Ashley Miller, a spokeswoman for the Ocean City Police Department, confirmed the incident Saturday.

Miller said police received a call for a "disorderly" crowd at about 4:37 p.m. Saturday. Police estimated that the crowd was a couple hundred people in size.

Miller said police ordered the crowd to disperse and used a "pepper spray with a strong odor" to get the crowd to leave. In response, police said the crowd began throwing rocks and bottles at officers.

"At least one officer was struck by a rock," Miller wrote in an email. "One crowd member jumped on an OCPD vehicle."

There were no injuries to officers, she added.

Miller said Sunday morning that OCPD wouldn't give a comment further until it had a chance to review "due to the entire weekend being an enormous disturbance, not only to our residents and visitors but to our police officers and allied agencies who are working to keep our city safe." .

She added, "Our officers are literally doing absolutely everything they can right now to maintain order as we speak.”

Throughout Saturday, police made their presence extremely visible on the main roads of Ocean City. Social media posts from several people show a large group of police driving slowly down Coastal Highway, occupying all lanes with lights on.

Community shows support for law enforcement

In response to the events this weekend, Ocean City businesses and its mayor showed their support for law enforcement working to maintain order.

Multiple local restaurants showed their support for law enforcement by offering free meals to police.

Ocean City's mayor delivered a warning to the event's participants and complemented police for their actions this weekend.

"I cannot say enough about the men and women of the Ocean City Police Department, the Worcester County Sheriff's Office, the Maryland State Police, Maryland Natural Resources Police, Maryland Transportation Police and the other allied agencies," Meehan wrote.

Meehan added, "They went far beyond the call of duty in their attempts to enforce the law and to protect our community while at the same time placing themselves in harm's way."

Meehan's post also took aim at the unofficial H2Oi event and its participants. Meehan wrote that the community and officials must work to stop the social media event from coming back in the future.

In the post, Meehan referenced the idea of a state of an emergency declaration in the future and said he'd be speaking with Gov. Larry Hogan about the event.

After previous issues with the event, the legislature passed legislation to increase fines for bad driving behavior as a way to help deter bad behavior from drivers.
