The Montgomery Police Department held a press conference on Tuesday afternoon to address the “Riverfront Brawl” that took place this past weekend.
Montgomery Police Chief Darryl Albert stated that the incident began when private boat owners would not move their boat from the place where the Harriot docks. Attempts were made by the Captain of the Harriot for 45 minutes by the use of a PA system. However, the private boat owners instead yelled obscenities back at the Harriot and refused to move their boat.
Chief Albert stated that one of these individuals has already turned themselves in, and the other two are expected to turn themselves in within hours after the press conference. One video shared with WSFA 12 News by a viewer, which runs approximately four minutes and 30 seconds, shows the moments leading up to the confrontation and the initial scuffle that quickly escalated.
As the crewmember appears to untie the pontoon boat’s rope, a man runs up to confront him. While it’s unknown exactly what was being said between the two, body language clearly indicated an escalation before others also ran to the boat to confront the crewmember.
