At least three sailors assigned to the aircraft carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower<\/a> were charged with misdemeanors for their roles in a brawl that broke out during a command holiday party at an upscale downtown Norfolk hotel in mid-December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aviation Ordnanceman 3rd Class Demetrius Jackson, 23, of Texas, was arrested for allegedly obstructing justice and disorderly conduct on Dec. 17, according to online court records. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was released on his own recognizance and also received a summons for being drunk in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norfolk police officers that night also arrested Boatswain\u2019s Mate Seaman Akilah Carradine-McMillan, 22, of Louisiana, on a charge of disorderly conduct. She also was released on her own recognizance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A third sailor, Electronics Technician 3rd Class Ryann Moore, 20, of Michigan, was initially charged with disorderly conduct but that was amended to drunk in public, online court records show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the others she was released on her own recognizance. She was found guilty of the charge on Jan. 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore enlisted in the Navy in 2017. She reported to the Ike in Sept. 2018, with short stints away for school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She returned to the carrier in March, according to a Navy biography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video of the fight<\/a>, which appeared to erupt in the lobby of the Norfolk Waterside Marriott<\/a>, surfaced online and has been viewed thousands of times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It shows a chaotic two-and-a-half minutes during which several people appear involved, either through trying to break up the brawl or while attacking others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At one point, it appears a chair is thrown and a man is shown grabbing a woman and yelling what sounds like \u201csit down,\u201d while others are overheard saying \u201cGo outside,\u201d “I love it\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s not worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Norfolk Police<\/a> incident report obtained by Navy Times offered few additional details about the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer wrote that he observed a fight in the making and escorted one man out of the building, only to then return inside and find another fight underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As friends of those involved tried to break up the fight, Carradine-McMillan approached a woman who was being held back by a man and then hit him, before shoving a plain-clothes detective who tried to intervene, according to the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe failed to comply and disregarded every command of stop resisting as she was trying to break free from our control,\u201d the officer wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carradine-McMillan has a court hearing scheduled for March 4 in Norfolk General District Court, according to online records. According to a Navy biography, she enlisted in late 2017 and has been assigned to the Ike since March 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson has a court hearing scheduled Jan. 24. He enlisted in the Navy in 2015 and has been assigned to Ike since Sept. 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
