NEW INFORMATION MONDAY:
The arrest over the weekend of a football player for the Cincinnati Bengals is creating big controversy in Huntington.
Quincy Wilson was part of a wedding party celebrating at the Envy Nightclub and he was arrested for disorderly conduct after leaving the club. Wilson is friends with the couple that got married on Saturday.
Carlos Barron was the groom and Tara Hensley was the bride. They also were arrested along with three other members of the wedding party. Police say they refused to leave the area of the nightclub after officers ordered the crowd to disperse.
Family members say those arrested did nothing wrong and that the arrests were racially motivated. All members of the wedding party were black and still in their tuxedos when taken to jail. The bride is white.
The police report says it was important to get the crowd to leave that area of 4th Avenue because there was a shots fired report nearby and a stabbing occurred down the street a week earlier.
Police say all those arrested refused to leave the scene, but relatives of those charged say police targeted the wedding party because of race. Police would not respond to the race related allegations.
Wilson is due in court July 9th.
SUNDAY INFORMATION:

I dare you to say that the wedding party goers were thugs and they shouldn,t have gone to a club after the wedding reception. They are free to go anywhere they want without being beaten, strangeled, and cursed at. This event happened because it was an interacial couple. No white person know what it is to be black in America so don't say blacks always play the race card.Black people don't play the race card, the card is already in place, black people will never be treated equally.
I AM A OUTSIDER BUT THE SAME OLD SOUTHERN RACIAL FROM THE POLICE EXIST. ONE QUESTION I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, WHERE ANY OF THOSE OFFICERS THERE BLACK, LATINO, MEXICAN OR OF ANY OTHER RACIAL DESENT? IF NOT, THAT WAS STAGGED AND HAVE THE PIGS EXPLAIN IT AWAY LIKE YOU HAVE TO IN COURT. WHEN WILL THEY START PROTECTING THE PUBLIC? I KNOW, WHEN YOU START FIGHTING BACK! WHEN TASER HAPPY, PEPPER SPRAYING COPS HAVE NOTHING TO DO BUT DESTROY A MEMORABLE MOMENT FOR YOUNG LOVERS; INTERACIAL AT THAT, IT'S A SHAME. TIMES ARE CHANGING, SO SHOULD THE MENTALLITY OF THOSE GESTAPO PIGS. RACISM IS NOT BIODEGRADABLE YET! THESE COPS NEED TO BE PUT ON UNPAID LEAVE AND SHOULD SEEK MENTAL COUNSELING BEFORE RETURNING. WHEN THE POLICE GET OUT OF HAND HERE WE TAKE THE LAW INTO OUR HANDS AND THAT TAKES THE WIND OUT OF THEIR SAILS. I STIIL SAY SEND THEM TO IRAQ TO GET A TASTE OF DEATH, ATTRITION, CAMEL SPIDERS, ROAD SIDE BOMBS AND THE FEAR! THIS IS THE SAME OLD MENTALLITY IN THE 60'S FOR BLACKS, VIETNAM PROTESTING, AND OTHER POLICE BEHAVIOR THAT WE DON'T TOLERATE HERE. ALL THAT WERE HURT IN ANYWAY, GO TO A CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY AND KEEP THE PROSECUTORS OFFICE JUMPING LIKE POPCORN. THEN YOU WILL SEE IF YOU WILL VOTE THIS ONE(PROSECUTOR,SHERIFF, AND THE JUDGES) IN OR OUT IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION. REMEMBER THESE PEOPLE ARE ELECTED OFFICIALS AND WHERE YOU HURT THEM IS IN THEIR WALLETS. AS FOR THE PRO FOOTBALL PLAYER, YOU HAVE THE RESOURSES TO GO AFTER THE GESTAPO FACIST PIGS AND DO IT. DO IT FOR PRIDE, EMBARRESMENT OF YOU FREINDS, AND TO TEACH THE PIGS A LESSON IN HUMAN DESCENCY. WHEN PEOPLE CAN'T LOVE ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE OF SKIN AND CAN'T HAVE A DESCENT RELATIONSHIP, SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE SO THE PIGS GET THE MESSAGE. I WATCH THE TRASER OF THE WSAZ NEWS, AND WHAT HAPPENED DOWN THE STREET HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WAS HAPPENING THERE AT YOUR WEDDING PARTY, SO DON'T LET THEM USE THAT EXUSE! FIGHT BACK PEOPLE. IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO!
Rodney - I would like to see you get picked up by the HPD for not walking fast enough and see if you can still give those same great kudos! Again the people in the wedding party did NOTHING WRONG INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE CLUB (except ask why they were being arrested while walking away from the club)
