Another Teen Arrested In Mob Attacks

POSTED: Tuesday, June 10, 2008
UPDATED: 5:03 pm EDT June 10, 2008

Mount Clemens High School junior Deonte Williams, 17, has been arrested and charged for his involvement in a recent spree of mob attacks, police said.

Three other Clinton Township teens were taken into custody two weeks ago for questioning after a motorist was beaten unconscious and left with a fractured skull.

Williams is accused of being part of a group of 20 to 30 people who beat up a man outside a gas station, attacked and robbed at least one motorist, and may also be responsible for several other numerous violent crimes that took place two Saturdays ago.

Police said the incident took place when Andy Kauffman, 29, and his wife, Angelina, were driving on North River Road. More than two dozen men wearing ball caps and baggy shorts spread out across the street and blocked traffic.

Kauffman tried to drive past them and someone threw a brick in his window. Kauffman stopped his car and got out to see what happened.

"At that point at least 12 of the subjects jumped on him, beating and kicking him several times to the point where he was unconscious," Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said. "A second man then got out of the car and also was attacked, but not nearly as bad as the first individual."

A short time later, police were called to a gas station nearby for a fight. The mob attacked two men in downtown Mount Clemens. One man ran to Desperado's bar to find safety, while the other man ran to a nearby gas station.

The victim at the gas station was attacked by the mob, but he was not seriously injured, police said.

The victim told Local 4 he believes the attack was random because he did not know any of the attackers.

Police said there were several incidents within a few hours and they fear the same group of attackers were involved. A group of people were attacked at a nearby carnival before the motorist was beaten.

Anyone with information can call 586-469-5151. Police are still searching for other people who may have been involved.

There will be a meeting from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday evening at the Mount Clemens’ Town hall to discuss the incidents.
