WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (WAVY) — Three women were charged with felony maiming after police say they were involved in a fight at Busch Gardens Williamsburg back in August.
23-year-old Christine Nicole Howard, 27-year-old Elizabeth G. Marrero and 30-year-old Junika Marionette Dunn all face charges of assault and battery and felony maiming. Howard and Marrero are from Candler, North Carolina, and Dunn is from New Bern.
Marrero was found guilty on both her charges during her preliminary hearing on December 2. She was sentenced to 24 months with 20 months suspended and two years of unsupervised probation.
Dunn had her charges certified to a grand jury during her hearing on December 2.
Howard was still wanted as of December, but authorities say Dunn and Marrero are in custody. Dunn was arrested in early October in Craven, North Carolina, and Marrero was arrested on October 26.
The fight happened around 4:50 p.m. on August 8 near at the Griffon roller coaster. Police say all three suspects fled before officers arrived. One of the victims found at the scene had severe swelling and a laceration near her eye and was taken to the hospital.
Multiple fights have been reported at the park this year, including another on Sept. 11. Police were still looking for several men involved.
Anyone with information, in either case, is asked to call James City County police at 757-566-0112 or the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
