Alabama cops have started cracking down on the agitators who sparked a viral melee on a Montgomery, Alabama, riverfront over the weekend, with officials on Tuesday announcing a series of charges.
Three white men have warrants out for their arrest for assault in the third degree, Chief Darryl Albert said Tuesday. They were identified as Richard Roberts, 48, Allen Todd, 23, and Zachary Shipman, 25.
One suspect is in custody and two others are expected to turn themselves in later Tuesday in nearby Selma, Alabama, Albert said. The trio will not face hate crime charges despite an outcry from observers that Saturday’s attack was race-driven.
