Five Arrested after Brawl at Dorchester District Court
At about 10:04 AM on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, officers assigned to Dorchester District Court were alerted to a reported fight inside of the Courthouse at 510 Washington Street.
As officers responded to the second floor of the courthouse, they were notified that the altercation had ended but several law enforcement constituents from various agencies were still attempting to separate the involved parties. Five males involved in the altercation were moved to the courthouse holding area in an effort to prevent them from further disrupting court proceedings.
While officers awaited transports for the detained males, an additional altercation occurred in which one of the males kicked another male while handcuffed, before attempting to spit on him, missing and striking an officer with his saliva.
Officers arrested a 17-year-old juvenile male of Dorchester, Syncere Johnson, 19-years-old, of Dorchester, Damontay Brown, 20-years-old, of Boston, Shamar Passley-Clark, 19-year-old, of Dorchester, and Terrel Stokes, 19-years-old of Dorchester. All of the suspects are charged with Affray and Disrupting Court Proceedings, while the juvenile faces additional charges of Assault and Battery by means of a Dangerous Weapon and Assault and Battery on a Police Officer.

Will you have the government playing mind games with its people? They do get upset, especially young men. You have women in the United States that want men that are 6 to make a $150000 a year from the gigo and are handsome, and that’s not real life. Men and women come in all ages, styles, sizes colors. It’s up to the individual you know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, that’s all you have to know that’s mother nature, besides go anywhere in the world, and there’s only creature that holds the key to life, and that’s the female of the species, but throw away your political b******* and throw away anything else because you can’t fool mother nature and you can’t fool. Take of me as far as dominion voter machine in Ohio, as Fox News in Naomi, that because of what they’ve done to be more in public, who wasn’t for Donald Trump, my son might still be alive today.He’s a piece of s***
