Chicago Couple Arrested For Fighting Before Appearance On Maury

A Chicago couple, who traveled to Fairfield County to be on the “Maury Show,” was arrested by Norwalk Police late Tuesday night after engaging in a hotel room fight that began when the woman found out her boyfriend was sleeping with her mother, police said.

Via The Hour News reports:

John Coley, 46, and Shantae McGhee-Brown, 25, were initially charged with disorderly conduct and third-degree criminal mischief. McGhee-Brown was additionally charged with interfering with an officer.

Both suspects were held overnight on $100,000 bond. They were arraigned Wednesday afternoon at Norwalk Superior Court. Judge William Wenzel released McGhee-Brown on a promise to appear in court and given a court date of April 30.

Addressing McGhee-Brown’s lack of ties to the area, public defender Christine Schwartzstein said McGhee-Brown was in town to “be on a local TV show, probably surrounding the nature of the arrest.”

Wenzel did not make a finding of probably cause on the criminal mischief charge against Coley. He now only faces a lone misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. Wenzel lowered Coley’s bond to $10,000. Coley was convicted of murder in 1998 and released from prison in January 2010, according to statements made in court. Wenzel set Coley’s bond without prejudice — meaning the defense can argue for a lower bond — pending further research into his criminal history. State’s Attorney Nichol Peco stated that Coley also had a 2012 arrest for murder, and the arrest did not show up on the bail commissioner’s background study of Coley. Coley’s next court date is April 10.

This sounds more like an episode of ‘Jerry Springer’ than ‘The Maury Show’ but we’d watch it anyway!
