Deputies Make More Arrests in Connection with Multiple Stabbing Incident in Navarre

Investigators have arrested seven more individuals that were involved in a brawl that resulted in a double stabbing that occurred on Eagle Nest Drive in late February 2008. Warrants were issued yesterday morning for the arrests of eight individuals. Seven of the warrants have been served, and one suspect is still being sought. The warrants were issued after investigators were able to show evidence that all of the individuals were criminally responsible for being involved in a large scale mutual combat fight. This large scale fight was in public view and caused a disturbance that led to numerous 911 calls and two individuals being stabbed. All of the suspects were charged with one count of disorderly conduct/affray. All suspects have since posted a bond of $1000.00. Investigators are still looking for Wes Elliott, who also has an active warrant for disorderly conduct stemming from the incident. Photographs of the recently arrested suspects are attached to this email. Wes Elliott's photograph is not available.
