11 Charged in Wedding Party Brawl

(09.15.05 - AP) — A groom spent his wedding night in jail with his father, his brother, his father-in-law and seven other members of his wedding party after the group allegedly brawled with another bridal party and police.

White Plains Police say they arrested the groom, 29 year-old Joseph Fortunato Junior and the 10 others after officers were called to break up the melee at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in White Plains on Saturday.

The altercation reportedly began with a case of mistaken identity. A member of the second wedding party confronted Fortunato's best man, believing him to be a wedding photographer, who had absconded. The best man allegedly responded with force sparking a bench-clearer.

After police intervened by arresting Fortunato, the other members of his wedding party objected violently, leading to their arrests. The 11 suspects, all from Fortunato's party, were charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and first-degree riot, a felony punishable by up to four years in prison.

They were released on bail Sunday.

Police said the melee caused $2,000 of damage to the hotel. Police add the fight was fueled by alcohol.
