'This particular group had caused issues in the past'Remarkably, this was not the first time the crew of the Harriot and the private boat passengers have had problems before the brawl. Captain Jim Kittrell said on Alabama's 93.1 radio station that the pleasure craft boaters had allegedly even stolen one of the riverboat crew's golf carts on a previous occasion.
Kittrell said, "This was not a black and white thing. I had every single white crew member male on the boat was on the dock. This was our crew upset about these idiots." He further stated, "A couple of years ago, this same group was here. We came back from a cruise and our golf cart was missing we finally found it in the Hampton Inn lobby. We looked at the Hampton Inn video. Found out who did it and we had them come down. We were going to press charges then, but the police talked us out of it."
