Five individuals were involved in the verbal fight just after 7 p.m. Monday: Three adults and two juveniles, according to Sgt. Dan Stockett, an investigator with the St. Clair County Sheriff's Department. The fifth person, a female juvenile, ran from the scene when police arrived. Police have identified her but have not yet arrested her.

Lemarian R.A. Jones-Williams, 18, was charged with disorderly conduct. He has posted bond and been released from the St. Clair County Jail.
