A mugshot has been released of one of three white men facing third-degree assault charges in connection to the massive brawl at an Alabama riverfront dock that was caught on video.

TMZ obtained the mugshot of 48-year-old Richard Roberts, who is already in jail. It is unclear if the two other white male suspects — Alan Todd and 25-year-old Zachary Shipman — are in custody yet.

Montgomery Police Chief Darryl Albert announced Tuesday (August 8) that arrest warrants had been issued for the three men following Saturday's (August 5) brawl at the city's Riverfront Park.

Videos of the brawl began with a Black employee being attacked by a white assailant on the dock of the riverfront. The employee and assailant appeared to fight before two more white men join in on the brawl.

At one point in the videos, the security guard appeared to be on the ground while being struck by several men. Onlookers later jumped to the security guard's defense, with one person even swimming up to the dock to fight back against the assailants.

Multiple altercations ensued on the dock. Albert said Tuesday that 13 people were detained, brought in for questioning, and released following the brawl.

According to the police, an investigation into the incident remains ongoing. A man who appeared to be hitting people with a chair, identified as Reggie Gray, could still potentially face charges, Albert said.
