During the last quarter of the game, Reginald Groom (44) went from the Uniontown fan department to the stands, where Meadville were and “began to throw James Chabot,” said the court documents.

“This lawsuit then led to several skirmishes on the stand and on the square between spectators and players,” said the complaint, which was submitted by the Meadville City police.

In the submission of the court, it was found that there were several spectators, including children, in the area of ​​the fight, which took place at the Meadville High School.

A 16-year-old Meadville boy was the only other person who was charged with offense. The remaining defendants – infamous groom, 18, from Uniontown; Malik Wilson, 25, from Meadville; And two other 16-year-olds from Meadville-Jewel's messy face quotes.

Wilson supposedly had a verbal struggle with several basketball players from the Uniontown High School, who “triggered a physical argument between parents and players,” the complaint said. Notorious Grooms, a senior in the Uniontown basketball team, is accused of beating a Meadville basketball player.

If the schools meet all outlined provisions, their basketball teams can compete in the coming season.
