The two remaining defendants charged with assault in connection with the Riverfront Park brawl over the weekend turned themselves in to Montgomery police on Wednesday, a department spokeswoman said.
Allen Todd, 23, and Zachery “Chase” Shipman, 25, are being held in the Montgomery Municipal Jail on one count of misdemeanor third-degree assault charges in connection with the Saturday brawl.
Police have also sought Reggie Gray, a 42-year-old Black man described by Montgomery Police Chief Darryl Albert as the Black man “wielding” a folding chair and hitting a woman over the head for questioning in connection with the incident.It was not immediately clear if Gray or an attorney representing him have scheduled a sitdown with police.
As the riverboat was preparing to dock, they noticed the private pontoon boat blocking the area, Albert said. Owen, a stay-at-home mom, filmed the confrontation as it began on the dock. She said as a “mother of many” she knows the importance of being able to document how a conflict started. Once the boat was able to dock, she said her family had to figure out how to get off the boat safely with the fighting going on around them.“It was just absolutely unnecessary and uncalled for,” she said, according to The Associated Press.“The co-captain was doing his job,’’ Albert said.
Police then received additional calls about 7:15 p.m. and the first police units – four officers – arrived on the scene at 7:18 p.m., with three more officers arriving soon after.
