After videos captured him swinging a chair during a group brawl, Reggie Ray became a viral sensation. The incident went down in August at the Montgomery Riverfront.
On Monday (Dec. 11), Reggie Ray pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge, per the Montgomery Advertiser. Montogomery Municipal Court Judge Milton Westry sentenced Ray to 90 days in jail suspended. This means he won’t have to spend that time behind bars.

Ray didn’t offer any comment post-court, per the Montgomery Advertiser.
Updates On Reggie Ray & Other Defendants In The Montgomery Brawl Case
Reggie Ray was one of five people charged in the public smackdown. The physical tussles began with the three-on-one attack of Harriot II Riverboat’s co-captain. Ray was one of plenty of spectators involved in defending Captain Dameion Pickett. Though reports say the initial fight with the co-captain had ended before Ray swung the chair, smacking a man and woman.
Reggie Ray was reportedly the last defendant to have a hearing in the Montgomery brawl.
Defendant Allen Todd was initially charged with misdemeanor third-degree assault. However, the Orange Beach resident ultimately pleaded guilty to the lesser harassment charge. A judge ordered him to serve 100 community hours, pay a $100 fine and court costs, and attend an anger management court. Todd will serve his community service in Orange Beach, Alabama, about three hours from Montgomery.
Zachery Shipman pleaded guilty to the same lesser harassment charge as Todd. His sentencing details also mirror Todd’s. Shipman will serve his 100 hours in his hometown of Selma, about 53 minutes from Montgomery. In his plea, Shipman also agreed to drop assault charges he filed against the co-captain Dameion.
Allen Todd’s sister, Mary Todd, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor harassment related to her assault of the co-captain. She is required to attend anger management and pay $357 in court fees.
Lastly, Richard Roberts pleaded guilty to two counts of misdemeanor assault. One count was for the co-captain, and the other related to 16-year-old Daniel Warren.
Roberts must report to a Perry County facility on the weekends until he serves 32 days, the required portion of a suspended four-month sentence. He must also serve 100 hours of community service and pay court fees, which cost about $714.
