The brawl at Nicholbys in Ventura on Dec. 18 left several patrons not associated with the Angels wounded, authorities said. Ventura police Lt. Ken Corney denied claims that the Angels are specifically being targeted, adding that police went to Nicholby's after receiving a call for help. ``The people arrested went into a bar and assaulted people,'' said Corney, the gang violence suppression unit supervisor. ``Our goal is to hold people accountable for the violent acts that they perpetrate per·pe·trate tr.v. per·pe·trat·ed, per·pe·trat·ing, per·pe·trates To be responsible for; commit: perpetrate a crime; perpetrate a practical joke. in our community.

The six defendants remain free on bail ranging from $20,000 to $30,000 after having been arrested following the fight. The Angels members are: George Christie III, 23, Sabian Reynoso, 23, Alex Webster, 21, and Vincent DeAlba III, 23, all of Oak View - as well as Brian Applegate, 25, and Edward Quintanilla, 45, both of Ventura. Webster is a ``prospect,'' or applicant to the Angels, Moriya Christie said. Christie said she did not ask Judge Art Gutierrez to exonerate bail Thursday because she did not want to repeat the whole process if charges are filed and the defendants are rearrested. |
