- Reggie Ray, 42, turned himself in nearly a week after the brawl; Montgomery police said he was charged with disorderly conduct and held in the municipal jail on Friday night.
- Video appeared to show Ray swinging at several white boaters after what the report described as an unprovoked attack on Black riverboat co-captain Dameion Pickett.
- Police had previously charged Richard Roberts, Allen Todd, Zachery Shipman, and Mary Todd—three men and one woman, all white—with third-degree assault after they allegedly attacked Pickett when he asked them to move their pontoon boat.
- Police said the evidence was insufficient for hate-crime charges, while the mother of a 16-year-old reportedly described hearing a racial slur before the attack and Captain Jim Kittrell believed it was racially motivated.
I'm going to kill you, motherfucker.— Told by an attacker to Pickett during the Montgomery riverfront brawl; Pickett's statement to police (WSFA reporting).
