Shot fired in air during Fayetteville dispute

Fayetteville police have arrested a sixth person for taking part in an shooting incident at The Banquet Hall off Glynn Street Jan. 27.

Freeman Lamar Thomas, 20, of Brentwood Boulevard, Palmetto was arrested Tuesday and charged with participating in gang activity.

The incident started as an argument between gang members from Creekside High School in Fulton County, but it ended with one person firing a gunshot into the air, police said.

No one was injured in the incident, police said.

When the first five arrests were made two weeks ago, police searched one of the suspects’ homes and found gang paraphernalia and “gang bibles,” which are books containing gang rules and information that must be memorized, police said.
