Leader Of Vicious Flatbush McDonald’s Attack To Be Admitted For Psychiatric Care
The leader of a group of teenage girls who viciously beat up another teen girl in the McDonalds at 943 Flatbush Avenue in March will be committed to a psychiatric facility, according to the Daily News.
Aniah Ferguson, 17, who lead several other girls in a brawl against Ariana Taylor, 16, will apparently avoid jail time for the incident, which was caught on video and went viral last spring.
Ferguson, a mother and admitted member of the Crips gang, was ordered to be admitted to the August Aichhorn Center for Adolescent Residential Care in Manhattan by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Dineen Riviezzo.
Prosecutors strongly disagreed with the decision. ““This defendant does not deserve this plea. She does not deserve mental health treatment. Nothing about this defendant’s actions or her violent history support this plea,” said Assistant District Attorney Janet Gleason, according to the Daily News.
Before being arrested for the McDonald’s incident, Ferguson had been accused of abusing her grandmother and stabbing her brother.
Ferguson’s release from the Aichhorn Center will depend on doctors’ determination she’s gained control of her behavior, if she does not follow the rules, she will face up to 15 years in prison.
Two other teenage girls arrested for the incident were charged as adults and pled guilty to assault.
