Three members of a family seen in a viral video of a brawl at Disneyland now face criminal charges, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors say Avery, 35, of Las Vegas, was taken into custody on Tuesday along with his sister Andrea, 40, and her husband Daman, 44, both of Compton. The fight happened on July 6. According to the NY Post, Avery is accused of being the main instigator. It is still unclear what started the fight, but video from other park guests shows him allegedly attacking and punching at least two women in his group.
The DA’s office said in a press release that Avery faces five felony counts and nine misdemeanor counts. Prosecutors allege he assaulted family members and his girlfriend, endangered his child and three other children who were with the family, and threatened to kill relatives as he drove out of a Disneyland parking structure. He is also accused of hitting a Disneyland employee with his vehicle after security escorted the family out of the park.
Among the counts are one felony of domestic violence with corporal injury and one felony of assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury on a woman he was dating. If convicted, he faces a maximum of seven years and four months in state prison.
Prosecutors say Andrea faces five misdemeanor counts, including battery for allegedly attacking Avery, his girlfriend and a Disneyland employee. Daman faces one misdemeanor count of battery for allegedly punching Avery’s girlfriend in the face. If convicted, he faces up to six months in jail.
All of these are allegations, and no public response from the family had been reported at the time.
