Arrest warrants have been issued in connection with a riverfront brawl in Montgomery, Alabama that drew nationwide attention after video showed a group of white people pummeling a Black riverboat worker, an exchange that sparked a massive fight.Two people involved in a melee at an Alabama riverfront dock that caught national headlines over the summer were sentenced, with one receiving jail time and the other ordered to go to anger management classes.
The Todds and Shipman were each charged with one count of third-degree assault in the August 5 brawl in Montgomery. Roberts was charged with two counts of third-degree assault, and Ray was charged with disorderly conduct. The Harriott II and its passengers waited about 45 minutes as the co-captain, Damien Pickett, tried to reach the occupants of the docked boat using a PA system. But "they were only responded to with obscene gestures, curse words and taunting," Albert said.
Police said Pickett, the Black co-captain of the Harriott II, and the 16-year-old White boy who helped take Pickett to the dock to try to speak with the owner of the private boat were both assaulted."You could hear men yelling 'f**k that n***er'" as Pickett tried to move a pontoon boat occupying the riverboat's docking location, the teen's mother said in a sworn statement to police.
