Brawlers face felony charges
Seven individuals are facing felony charges resulting from a riotous
fiasco that occurred last week at a home on Richland Street.
For reasons unknown to police at this time, about 40 individuals
became involved in a violent brawl that left seven hospitalized
suffering among other injuries knife stab wounds and blunt force trauma
inflicted by aluminum baseball bats, brass knuckles and wooden fence
pickets.
The following individuals have been charged with felony
first-degree burglary: Timothy Dale Cagle, 33, Waynesville; Dakota Dale
Gaskill, 18, Waynesville; Anthony Scott Eckhoff, 19, Clyde; Steven Dale
Smith, 23, Canton; Travis Dale Marler, 31, Waynesville; Shannon DeWayne
Williams, 32, Waynesville and William Gaskill, 33, Clyde.
Marler and William Gaskill also face one count each of assault with
a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. Smith has also been charged
with assault.
Williams and William Gaskill remain confined in the Haywood County Jail. All others have been released on bond.
Additional charges against these and other individuals are pending, authorities said.
Police reports relating to the July 7 incident read similar to a script from the Jerry Springer show.
According to witnesses, shortly after 10 p.m., at least two pick up
trucks transporting as many as 10 to 15 individuals each pulled up to a
residence at 276 Richland St., police records state. The individuals
jumped from the bed of the trucks carrying what appeared to be sticks
and poles. While some subjects surrounded the house, others kicked in
the front door, forcing their way into the home where a brawl ensued,
later spilling out into the street in front of the home.
Pursuant to 911 calls, one officer arrived on scene around 10:24
p.m. to find numerous subjects in the roadway and one pick up truck
crashing into the side of another pick up.
When other officers arrived a short time later, numerous subjects
were still in the street shouting. One individual, bleeding from his
face, was yelling from the home's front porch, while another male
subject lay in the street appearing unconscious, records state.
Several sticks with blood were located throughout the outside area
of the home, and a ball bat and two knives were collected by police
from the yard. Witnesses told police some other subjects were beat in
the head and face with fists, baseball bats and brass knuckles, records
state.
Officers secured the scene using pepper spray, Waynesville Police
Chief Bill Hollingsed said. Seven were arrested that night and
transported to the Haywood County Jail. Others fled the scene and seven
were transported to Haywood Regional Medical Center to be treated for
injuries — "everything from cuts and abrasions to stab wounds and blunt
force trauma and lots of stitches," said Hollingsed.
At least three were later transported to Mission Memorial
Hospitals. Most have since been released. One victim remains
hospitalized and is being treated for serious injuries caused by knife
stab wounds and blunt force trauma to his head.
"At this time, we have charged everyone we could, who has been
identified," said Hollingsed. "We have filed felony charges against
those who broke into and entered the house, and some who attacked the
residents."
As far as the other dozens of individuals who may have been
involved in the street fight, Hollingsed said, there will be additional
charges filed.
"We will pursue affray charges against those who fled, who we are able to identify," he said.
At least three of the suspects in question have violent criminal histories.
Hollingsed said at this time authorities are uncertain what caused the fight.
"It's been a long standing feud between the individuals involved,
and we've heard everything about what precipitated the fight from it
being a fight over a dog, to it being a fight over a woman," he said.
"We've heard several different stories. So, we really don't know what
the catalyst was that started it."

box on the left side of the page, and up at the top. There
you will see injustice as I've stated above, every stinking

taken from the offenders.
