Brawl on Plues Street Leads to Disorderly Conduct Charges

Tonight, three of the six men police claim were being investigated as possible members of the George Street Gang were dragged to court to face disorderly conduct charges after a public fight on Plues Street on February eighteenth, 2025. Out of the seven men identified from police footage, only three were criminally charged this morning: Damion Saldano, Jaheim Bent, and Shemaud Nunez. The trio, who had been detained for several days, arrived at court on the prison bus and were finally brought before a Magistrate in Court #4 around noon, unrepresented. Each was read a single charge of disorderly conduct. Nunez, the first to be arraigned, explained that he, Bent, and Saldano were friends and had been smoking weed when they intervened in a fight between some girls down the street. According to Nunez, they were then accused of beefing, leading to their charges. When the Magistrate asked Nunez why he pleaded guilty if he wasn’t guilty, Nunez said he had been in custody for two days and just wanted to get it over with. Upon hearing they would be fined instead of imprisoned; all three men maintained their guilty pleas. They were each fined two hundred dollars, plus a five-dollar court cost, with a payment deadline of March twenty-first, 2025, or face one month in prison.
