Mob-action and battery charges after a street fight are accusations. They are not convictions, and they are not a finding about who fired. WTVO said video shows a 48-year-old man pull a gun and fire toward Stewart as he and Bonner left. Both of those men were shot. Police said both are expected to survive.
WTVO, citing the Rockford Police Department and court documents, reported that surveillance video shows the fight started when Stewart punched a 48-year-old man in the back of the head and grabbed at a satchel. A second fight was going on between Bonner and that man's girlfriend. Police say Bonner went to her car, took out a stick, and hit the man's nephew with it, then got behind the wheel and struck the girlfriend and Stewart, her brother, who was standing nearby.
Investigators said the video then shows the first man pull a gun and fire five shots toward Stewart. When officers arrived, the 48-year-old man had a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Stewart was also shot and taken to a hospital with a non-life-threatening wound. WTVO reported Bonner is held in the Winnebago County Jail on mob action and battery. Stewart faces unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, aggravated battery, and mob action, and online jail records did not show him in custody.
Two people charged out of one video is the filing. Who threw the first punch, who used the car, and who fired are questions the video will be asked to answer in court. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Amarillo police booked Allen Plumlee on aggravated kidnapping and a third-or-more DWI after a Sunday night crash.
An aggravated-kidnapping booking is an accusation. It is not a conviction. The arrest report says a woman told officers she drove because she feared for her life. That statement is the state's account of the ride. It has not been tested in court.

A theft arrest of an elected party official is an accusation. It is not a conviction, and it is not a finding about how long the charges ran. Police have not said, in the accounts used here, how much money is at issue. The parish party's statement said it would wait on the court.
