Authorities say there were at least six victims during the melee, including three members of the Mongols biker gang, two of whom were stabbed, at A Special Memory Wedding Chapel on Fourth Street and Gass Avenue. The brawl followed a wedding ceremony that the Hell's Angels were attending. When they left the ceremony they saw three Mongols who were at the chapel for a wedding of their own, according to authorities. The 13 men attacked the Mongols, bludgeoning the victims with their fists, feet, bottles and trash cans, according to authorities and the indictment, which was returned Friday. One of the victims, a woman, was chased from the chapel by a Hell's Angel, who threw a bottle at her, according to the indictment. Prosecutor William Kephart said two defendants, Jeffrey Murray and John Merchant, allegedly stabbed two Mongols. But all 13 defendants have been charged with the same felonies: four counts of battery, three counts of battery with use of a deadly weapon, two counts of attempted murder with use of a deadly weapon, and one count each of assault with a deadly weapon, coercion with force and coercion with a deadly weapon. Many of the charges allege they were committed with substantial bodily harm and with intent to promote gang activity, which could lead to lengthier sentences if the men are convicted. |
