Groveland Twp.-Two local men were arrested following an early morning brawl at the Groveland Manor Mobile Home community.
The fight which included mostly family members that spilled out in the street, involved at least eight individuals’some of the participants used sticks, a shovel and a pint liquor bottle in the fray. Five individuals received minor injures including bite marks, cuts and abrasions’none were life-threatening.
A 23-year-old Davisburg man, along with a 19-year-old Holly man were in custody on April 4 after Michigan State Troopers from Groveland Township responded at about 5 a.m., to a fight in progress at the trailer park. When troopers arrived, a female resident was out sweeping up glass near one of the mobile home units, where the fight allegedly occurred. The glass was from mobile home windows shattered in the melee. She refused to identify the participants since they were her husband and brother-in-law.
Within 10 minutes of the first call, troopers returned a second time for another fight in the same location. Again the fight had been broken up by the time troopers arrived, with even more glass scattered in the street. Once again the complainant refused to give information regarding the fight’however the troopers advised the female that if they had to return a third time Child Protective Services would be called to remove three youths from the dangerous environment.
The complainant then changed her mind and the husband, along with the brother-in-law, were interviewed by the troopers. The troopers went to second mobile home to interview yet another participant when they were called back to the original site for a third fight in the street.
Troopers handcuffed two individuals that were involved in the fracas and transported them to the Oakland County Jail.
While no clear cause of the altercation was determined a participant said a boyfriend-girlfriend argument escalated into the fisticuffs.
The pair were charged with carrying a weapon with unlawful intent.
