In the videos, multiple white men were seen hitting the Black worker after he asked them to move their vessel. Employees and guests were then seen coming to the worker’s defense.
According to Mayor Reed, the incident was “brought on by reckless individuals who didn’t use good judgment and caused an event that certainly was avoidable.” The co-captain of the ship, who was identified by police as Dameon Pickett, was then picked up by a separate vessel and brought to the pier in an attempt to have a conversation with the boat owners but he was attacked and beaten.
Thirteen people were reportedly detained and taken in for questioning and interviews that lasted for several hours. Albert said all parties were released pending further investigation but were given instructions on “how to secure warrants on combativeness.”The department said it is continuing to work with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, the Montgomery District Attorney’s Office and the local FBI. The investigation is ongoing and more charges are likely, Albert said.
Albert claimed that along with Pickett, a 16-year-old employee who was only identified as a white male was also struck by the owners of the boat. His mother reportedly signed a warrant on his behalf.
