Man Arrested In Brutal Cincinnati Mob Attack Now Faces Federal Charges

A man charged in connection with a July 26 mob attack in Cincinnati is now facing an additional 15 years in prison after federal prosecutors added a gun charge.

The Justice Department announced Wednesday that 34-year-old Montanez Merriweather had been indicted for illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.

Merriweather had already been arrested on local felony charges over the beating of a man and a woman, which was captured on a viral video.
“There is no place for violence in our communities,” U.S. Attorney Dominick Gerace II said. “Those who commit violent acts can expect to be scrutinized and they will be held accountable for violations of federal criminal law.”
