Several disturbances around Madison required intervention after the disturbances escalated into physical fights Wednesday afternoon and evening, according to Madison Police.
Madison Police cited the suspects Nethena Smith, Demetris ""Stankyman"" Harding and Dashon ""Pooh Daddy"" Lewis for disorderly conduct. A 16-year-old Madison girl was cited for battery and disorderly conduct, according to the police incident report.
The officer in charge said multiple feuding teenage girls appeared to be at the center of the disputes, Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said. The officer also said the ongoing ""disrespect"" issues fueled a great deal of the anger.
Some of the suspects suffered minor injuries after being punched, police said. The 19-year-old victim was punched multiple times, but not seriously injured, DeSpain said.
Incidents were reported at the 3000 block of East Washington Avenue, North Oak Street at Coolidge Street and the 4800 block of Commercial Avenue, police said.
""One officer collected a dozen hair braids from the scene of one skirmish,"" DeSpain said in a statement.
