Fayetteville police have arrested five teenagers from Fulton County for an incident at The Banquet Hall off Glynn Street on Jan. 27.

The arrests were made in connection with an argument between gang members from Creekside High School in Fulton County ... ending with one person firing a gunshot into the air, police said.

Police searched one of the suspects' homes and found gang paraphernalia and "gang bibles," which are basically books of the gang's rules and information which must be memorized, police have said.

Arrested were Xavier Fowler, 18; Chaz Weaver, 17; Cedric Beavers, 18; and a juvenile, 16. All were charged with felony counts of gang activity. Fowler and Weaver were also charged with simple battery.

A sixth suspect has been identified and has an outstanding arrest warrant also for gang activity. Police have not identified that person.

The investigation into the incident is still ongoing, focusing on others who may have participated in the incident, officials said.
