Two Mexico residents face charges after an altercation last Wednesday.
At approximately 6:17 p.m. the Mexico Public Safety Department (MPSD) responded to the 400 block of Bolivar in reference to a disturbance. Responding personnel learned that Amar N Sykes, 23, and J’zmin Fierge, 18, both of Mexico, had come to the area to fight some residents there. During the altercation, Sykes injured a 20-year-old man, who was taken to University Hospital by Audrain Ambulance District where he was treated and released.
Fierge was threatening people with a gun while the assault was occurring.
MPSD located the suspects a couple of blocks away and arrested Sykes for third-degree assault; Fierge is charged with unlawful use of a weapon. Both were processed at MPSD and taken to the Audrain County Jail.
Residents are reminded that people arrested / charged with a crime are simply accused of the crime and are to be considered innocent until proven guilty.
