10 Gang Related Arrests in Floyd County

Last week, 10 Gang related arrests were made in Floyd County after a fight broke out in a parking lot. All were teenagers claiming to be members of a new gang known as the Riverside Boys.

The Floyd County Police Department has a very tuff policy on any possible gang related activity.

Mark Corbin is an investigator with the Floyd County Police Department.

Young members in high school want classmates to know they’re part of a gang so they are easy to spot, said Corbin.

“It travels around the school pretty fast. And they you get on a few on em’s my space and it don’t take long at all to discover what they are doing or where they are going to be at,” said Corbin.
Three of the arrests were made in the days following the fight because members of the Riverside Boys posted their involvement on their myspace website.
