Two Virginia men facing charges after fight in Sussex Co.

Authorities in Sussex County say two men were arrested over the weekend after they fled from police after a bar fight.

According to Rehoboth Beach Police, James Boone and Andrew Boone, both of Oakton, Virginia were seen by an officer fighting with someone outside of the Conch Island Key West Bar & Grill early Sunday morning. When the officer turned on his emergency lights, the men apparently took off, running down Second Street. We’re told the brother eventually split apart and the officer was able to catch up to James Boone who got stuck trying to jump over a fence.

Boone and the officer apparently received minor cuts and abrasions after falling from the fence. They both were treated at the scene. James Boone was arrested and he was charged with one count misdemeanor resisting arrest, one count of misdemeanor criminal mischief, and two counts of disorderly conduct. He was released on unsecured bond.

Andrew Boone eventually turned himself into police. He was charged with one count misdemeanor resisting arrest and one count of misdemeanor criminal mischief. He was also released on unsecured bond.
