Four people have been arrested in connection to a large street fight on the city’s north side from Saturday.
The initial fight was called in to Jacksonville Police at 8:37PM Saturday in the 800 block of Hackett Avenue saying 6 people were involved. Police initially cited 46-year old Jerry L. Lacy of the 1000 block of Hackett Avenue and 20-year old Bryer A. Casson of the 900 block of Hackett Avenue for city ordinance violations for fighting in public. Both were released upon their own recognizance.
Jacksonville Police Investigations continued an investigation into the fight. The fight was taken on video by several bystanders and later turned into police and shared to several social media platforms.
