The following italicized article is from www.wpxi.com:Two men were arrested Wednesday night after scuffling with police officers along East Carson Street in Pittsburgh's South Side.
According to the criminal complaint, an officer said he saw Rockey Dickey, of California, punching another man in the face. The officer said he tried to stop the fight, which is when Dickey turned and took a swing at him, knocking off his hat.
Another officer jumped in to subdue Dickey, but Alex Montes, also from California, stepped in and placed that officer in a headlock, the criminal complaint said.
Montes' mother confirmed to Channel 11 that both her son and Dickey are members of pop star Britney Spears' road crew.
Spears is set to play Mellon Arena Friday night.
Police said Dickey would not cooperate when officers tried to handcuff him. A Taser was used to subdue him as he was kicking his legs and flailing his arms, police said.
Police said Montes fled the scene but was arrested a short time later.
The victim that was being beaten, Matthew Boyle, was taken to UPMC Mercy Hospital for injuries to his nose and forehead.
Dickey and Montes are charged with criminal conspiracy, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. Dickey is also charged with simple assault and resisting arrest.
Montes' mother told Channel 11 that this is his first tour with Spears and said he does not usually get into trouble.
