East Point police on Monday identified four people seen throwing plates, carts and punches in video of a Mother's Day brawl that went viral.
Devecc Billingslea, 26, Zacarli Dalcoe, 25, Willis Jumario Hall, 26, and Demonte Harrison, 21, were cited for disorderly conduct in connection with the May 8 fight at Kiku Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar on Marketplace Boulevard, East Point police Capt. Cliff Chandler said.
Customers captured video of the chaos on their cellphones.
According to a police report obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Harrison, a busboy at the restaurant, was cleaning tables when a woman berated him for smiling. Harrison told the woman it was his job to smile.
That’s when Hall, the woman’s brother, got up and punched Harrison in his face, police said. Other people joined the fight, but the report does not identify them by name. Billingslea and Dalcoe are relatives of Hall, East Point police Capt. R.C. Popham told The AJC.
Attorney Charles Webb is representing Hall, Billingslea and Dalcoe. He said cellphone footage of the melee does not tell the whole story.
Owner Charlie Son told Channel 2 Action News he lost about $5,000 in business after people got up during the brawl and left without paying.
“The investigation into this incident is ongoing and arrangements are being made for the aforementioned individuals” to pick up their citations, Chandler said.
Hall, Billingslea and Dalcoe are scheduled to appear in court on July 5.
