Women behave badly at county fair

Evidently, not everyone can have fun at the Montgomery County Fair.

Dayton police responded to the fairgrounds at about 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30, to find a large group of young women fighting.

A girl said she was trying to get on the fair ride Pharaohs Fury when a “large woman,” later identified as Yazmine Pierce, 18, beat her up, according to a police report.

Witnesses said Pierce approached the victim, punched her in the back of the head, pulled her hair and then kicked her in the stomach as she lay on the ground.

Many members of the group, which consisted of about 40 women according to police report, were then kicked out of the fair.

Police later located Pierce and arrested her on assault charges.

But that wasn’t the end of it.

The group of women reconvened outside the fairgrounds near Miami Valley Hospital and began fighting again in the street, the report stated.

More officers arrived on the scene and split the group up, telling the women to go home. Officers had to threaten one girl with a Taser after she allegedly cussed at them and refused to leave.

The juvenile was later arrested for disorderly conduct.

But wait, there’s more.

As the group started to disperse Jaron Hawkins, 18, allegedly stood in the 900 block of South Main Street and threatened to beat up one of the girls in the group.

Police arrested him for disorderly conduct after he allegedly lunged at the girl and refused numerous requests by police to leave the area, according to the police report.

No one was seriously injured during the disturbance.
