3 arrested after Cape street fight

Three adults and a juvenile girl were arrested following a street fight that drew Cape Girardeau police officers when a call came in that 100 people were battling with fists and clubs.

Far fewer people were actually in the 900 block of Elm Street when officer David Willingham was the first to arrive Tuesday, said Sgt. Jason Selzer, spokesman for the Cape Girardeau Police Department. But when Willingham arrived, he saw Patrice M. Jones, 31, of 720 Walnut St., swinging some type of club at other people in the street, Selzer said.

When Willingham attempted to arrest Jones, a 15-year-old girl sought to prevent him from taking her into custody. The girl was cited into juvenile court.

Jones was charged with assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest, both misdemeanors. Her bond was set at $7,500.

Two men were arrested as well. Trent D. Williams, 20, 130 S. Henderson Ave., was charged with two counts of misdemeanor assault based on the statements of two people at the scene who said he had attacked them, Selzer said. Bond for Williams was set at $7,500.

JaJuan D. Bell, 20, 223 S. Hanover St., was charged with a count of assault. The juvenile girl arrested said Bell had kicked her during the fight, Selzer said.
