Lawyers in court were informed that this attack might have had something to do with a previous altercation between the groups, although it was not fully elaborated on what that might have been.

Twigg was sentenced to 90 days for assault with a weapon and 30 days to be served concurrently for common assault.

With credit for time already served, he will spend another 33 in custody.
