Agg-Town Fights Update

Last March, the Arlington police were investigating an assault, and discovered a gang of youths who were assaulting people and arranging fights so they could film them and sell the resulting product for profit. The group called themselves Playas After Cash [PAC], and they were selling videos of their assaults and fights.

The Arlington police arrested four members of PAC, charging them with assault and engaging in organized crime. Two of those PAC members have now pled guilty to their crimes.

Folarin Olawoye, 20, pled guilty to a felony charge of engaging in organized crime, and received two years of probation. John Barree, 18, pled guilty to aggravated assault and was sentenced to three years in prison.

Two other PAC members -- Michael Jackson, 19, and Lamar Gaines, 17, are still awaiting trial on felony charges of engaging in organized crime.
