The
Riverfront
Brawl
in
Montgomery,
Ala.
was
one
of
the
most
explosive
moments
to
unfold
this
year,
spawning
several
memes
as
the
news
of
the
so-called
“Fade
In
The
Water”
event
rippled
through
social
media.
Two
men
involved
in
the
Riverfront
Brawl
were
recently
sentenced
and
one
man
saw
his
charges
dismissed
as
another
individual
will
appear
in
court
on
Monday
(December
11).
Local
outlet
WSFA
reports
that
Zachary
Shipman
and
Alan
Todd
appeared
in
Montgomery
Municipal
Court
last
Friday
(December
8)
and
pleaded
guilty
to
the
lesser
charge
of
harassment
after
initially
being
charged
with
third-degree
assault.
Shipman
and
Todd
were
given
suspended
sentences
of
60
days
and
12
months
of
probation.
Shipmen
will
serve
out
his
sentence
in
Dallas
County
while
Todd
will
do
so
in
Baldwin
County
according
to
WSFA’s
reporting.
Dameion
Pickett,
a
co-captain
of
the
Riverboat,
also
appeared
in
court
but
his
third-degree
assault
charge
was
dismissed
and
he
supported
the
plea
agreements
made
by
Shipman
and
Todd.
One
other
suspect,
Reggie
Ray,
will
appear
in
court
Monday
to
learn
what
his
sentence
will
be.
The
Riverfront
Brawl
was
sparked
after
the
Riverboat
was
attempting
to
dock
in
its
usual
spot
this
past
August
when
a
private
boat
was
in
the
way.
A
dock
worker
removed
a
rope
that
kept
the
private
boat
stationary,
sparking
its
passengers
to
assault
the
dock
worker.
An
employee
of
the
Riverboat
hopped
into
the
water,
swam
over,
and
helped
to
defend
the
worker
along
with
other
observers.
