Los Angeles: Three men are in custody accused of stabbing a security guard and three vendors.
On July 31, 2005, at about 5:55 p.m., Northeast Area patrol officers responded to a stabbing call at “Gate E” at Dodger Stadium. Officers discovered that three security guards and approximately 10 to 15 vendors were involved in a dispute over unlicensed merchandise. That dispute turned into a fight, where four people were stabbed, including one security guard. The injured were transported to a local hospital and are expected to recover from their injuries.
The security guards involved work for Black Hawk Security and are contracted by Sport Service, a company that sells official Dodger merchandise. The Los Angeles Dodgers do not employ the guards.
Three of the vendors were arrested for Assault with a Deadly Weapon. They are 47 year-old Vincent Thomas Hill of Los Angeles, 40 year-old Melvin Benard Robinson of Pomona, and 51 year-old Adrian Renald Herron of Los Angeles.
