Armed Thugs Try To Take Over Romare Bearden Charlotte for NYE

Reports were that a total of five thugs were arrested New Years Eve by CMPD attempting to drive into uptown Charlotte with weapons during the end of the year festivities.

First reports were this was an unfounded rumor. Turns out it was 6 and not 5.

CMPD announced the following arrests.

Rassell Young, 18, is charged with Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Resist/Delay/Obstruct and Possession of Marijuana.

Genesis Roland, 19, is charged with Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Resist/Delay/Obstruct and Possession of Marijuana.

Jergio Jesus Pavon-Reyes, 18, is charged with Possession of a Stolen Firearm.

Murray Edwards, 42, is charged with Carrying a Concealed Weapon and Disorderly Conduct.

Treshawn Goff, 27, is charged with Carrying a Concealed Weapon.

Dashawn Douglas, 29, is charged with Carrying a Concealed Weapon.

Additionally:

Kaheem Brower, 28, is charged with Affray.

Donaven McCoy, 29, is charged with Affray.

As well as ten juveniles were arrested and they ranged in age from 10 – 15-years-old. Their charges include violating the Youth Protection Ordinance, Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Subsequently, all parents/guardians of the arrested juveniles were cited and charged with Contributing to the Delinquency and Neglect by Parents and Others.

As we have previously noted Mecklenburg County DA Spencer Merriweather doesn't agree with the YPO and will undoubtedly dismiss the charges against the parents.

Thank you Tina Quizon @TinaQuizon chasing down the facts.
