Soledad Court hearing ends amid courtroom violence
In a pretrial session for John Clutchette and Fleeta Drumgo at Superior Court Judge Carl M. Allen’s court, Doris Maxwell shouted insults and was ejected. A melee followed with police using riot sticks, injuring a clerk, a bailiff, and spectators as two men were arrested, including Philip Jake Price of Oakland. Drumgo and Clutchette faced further motions, with the judge denying delays and moving toward a trial date despite defense pleas about San Quentin beatings.
