One of the four arraigned suspects shouted orders to the crowd of people, instructing them to throw glass bottles and metal poles at the responding officers. According to Lieutenant Mike Cantrell, Officer Patrick Mara was knocked unconscious for a very short period of time when he was struck in the head with a beer bottle. The officer was not severely injured and did not require hospitalization.

All four of the arraigned men are currently in Kern County Jail, while the two unnamed juveniles are in the Juvenile Hall.
