Two men were arrested on misdemeanor charges Friday after a fight erupted in the lobby outside the Circuit Courtroom at the Warren County Courthouse following a sentencing.

One man was charged with disturbing the peace and simple assault, and the other was charged with disturbing the peace and carrying a concealed weapon, a knife, said Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace.

No one was injured in the fight, which spilled from the lobby and elevator area outside the courtroom into a court reporter’s office before being broken up by investigators with the District Attorney’s office and courthouse deputies.

“The deputies in the court services unit quickly had the situation under control and arrested both parties,” Pace said.

The fight broke out after Donna Bailey, 52, 715 Roy Young Road, was sentenced after being found guilty by a jury last month of two counts of simple assault. Bailey had been tried for felony aggravated assault and attempted aggravated assault.

Bailey faced the charges after an Oct. 11, 2008, fight with her sister and brother-in-law, Patricia and Steven Carlisle.

Circuit Judge Isadore Patrick sentenced Bailey to two, six-month terms in jail, but suspended both terms. She will be on unsupervised probation for two years and pay a $1,000 fine, restitution for the victim’s medical bills (unspecified), and court costs and state assessments totaling $322.50.

Bailey still faces a felony charge of growing marijuana from a July 7 arrest by Warren County deputies.

Pace said fighting at the courthouse, which is also used by citizens paying car tags and registering to vote, among other errands, will not be tolerated.

Deputies use hand-held metal detectors at the discretion of the judges, and maintain a presence at the courthouse throughout the day, not just during trials and sentencings, Pace said, and courthouse security is in accordance with what prosecutors and judges have agreed is necessary.
