Police arrest four in a gang sweep

VERONA — Local authorities have finished a sweep of four suspected gang members accused of wading through a field party in August and assaulting three men, including one who had a pistol pointed at his chest and the trigger pulled.
The gun, however, did not fire.
Members of the Regional Anti-Gang Enforcement task force arrested the last of four suspects Wednesday after Eric "Big E" Yarborough, a 19-year-old Staunton man who stands 6 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs about 400 pounds, turned himself in to task force members, the sheriff's office said.
Three other suspects — Tyrone M. Scott, 19, Jakari D. Hart, 21, and Kelis A. Hamilton, 24 — were arrested earlier this week. All of the suspects are believed to be members of the Staunton Blood Gang 9 Tray set, according to the Augusta County Sheriff's Office. The four men are being held in the Middle River Regional Jail.
The RAGE task force launched an investigation in August after about 20 men, most of them wearing red clothing and shouting gang slogans, invaded a field party of several hundred people in western Augusta County, the sheriff's office said. [highlight]Most of the gang members were black and the three victims white, Fisher said, but race does not appear to be a factor in the attacks. "I don't think there were any racial overtones at all," the sheriff said.[/highlight]
One victim, 28, had a cigarette burned into his back after being knocked to the ground. A second man suffered cuts and bruises and the third had the pistol pointed at his chest.
"We don't know if it was an actual pistol, an air gun or what," Fisher said.
The newly formed Shenandoah Valley multi-jurisdictional grand jury, aimed at combating gang activity in the region, indicted the four men Sept. 11. Assistant Attorney General Phil Figura of Staunton serves as counsel to the grand jury.
Two of the suspects, Hamilton and Hart, were present at a 2004 shooting that left one man dead. Police charged Hamilton with first-degree murder as a principal in the second degree in the shooting. A jury deadlocked on the charge, and the Staunton Commonwealth Attorney's Office eventually dropped the case. Hart rode in the same car as the shooter the night of the killing, according to testimony at the murder trial, but he was never charged and ended up testifying in defense of the man convicted in the slaying.
Wednesday, Staunton police charged Hamilton with parole violation on an unspecified charge.

This gang nigging took place 15 miles from here. That piece of shit Fisher.....you can bet your ass that if a group of Whites attacked 3 coons, he'd be in no doubt whatsoever that there were "racial overtones"......

The sheriff's words betray him. Pre-emptive denial. He's answering an accusation not even made yet. He knows damn well. What a scumbag. Not very bright, either. It's like the kid who yells "I didn't do it" before anyone suspects him.
Law enforcement just keeps going downhill.

If this gathering wasn't a Niggfest, then why didn't the "several hundred people" in attendance beat these Niggers to the ground and then string them up?? If this party was majority White, then is it no wonder why Niggers have no fear in pulling this kind of shit?
If this was a Niggfest, then this clearly is a hate crime, although I would have to question the intelligence of any Whites who were stupid enough to show up there.

I agree but that may have been in response to something the reporter asked him.
I thought the same thing when the civil service parasite said "but we don't know if it's a real gun, a pellet gun, or what", although again it could have been in response to something the reporter asked.
