Eighth suspect charged in Chartiers Township riot case
HOUSTON – An eighth man has been charged in what police called a “gang-style” assault and riot that severely injured a man outside a Chartiers Township bar last year.
District Judge David Mark signed a warrant Thursday for the arrest of the latest suspect in the case, Dejuan Marquis Davis, 29, of 15 McNary St., Houston.
Davis, like the others, is charged with riot, aggravated assault, simple assault and conspiracy.
The suspects are accused of kicking and punching Michael Wright in the head after he was knocked to the ground about 2 a.m. Sept. 30 outside Black Gold Bar at 2440.5 W. Pike St. Wright was beaten unconscious and taken to UPMC-Presbyterian hospital, Pittsburgh, due to the extent of his injuries.
All but one of the other suspects, who are all from Washington, are awaiting trial in the case in Washington County Court.
Thomas Deonte Hairston, 27, of 119 Wasler Way, is wanted on a warrant signed Dec. 10 by Mark.
Glenn Edward Davis, 28, remains in Washington County jail on $100,000 bond after his Jan. 15 preliminary hearing on the charges, which also include robbery and theft.
Eric McKinley Ellis, 24, of 123 Maple Terrace, is jailed on $50,000 bond after he waived his charges to court Jan. 22, online court records show.
The others, Jamarr Thomas Dates, 26, of 305 Third St.; Darius Lamar Spinks, 24, of 866 Addison St.; Malik Deshawn Thomas, 25, of 340 Shirls Ave.; and Jevone Naveill Hairston, 24, of 244 N. Main St., are free on $50,000 unsecured bonds.
