NEW KENT COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- Months after a large fight between several juveniles broke out in New Kent County, three men are now accused of "organizing, instigating and participating" in these kinds of assaults. However, one more suspect remains at large.
A large fight involving multiple juveniles took place in the Woodhaven area during the late summer, according to the New Kent County Sheriff's Office. Authorities interviewed many of the minors involved and reviewed video evidence.
"Through these efforts, deputies identified four adults who were involved in organizing, instigating and participating in assaults on juveniles, as well as engaging in disorderly conduct," the sheriff's office said.
Three of those suspects, all men, were taken into custody on Tuesday, Sept. 9. Authorities are still searching for the fourth suspect, pictured below, who is described as a Black woman thought to be between 18 and 25 years old.
