ALTON/COTTAGE HILLS – Two Riverbend residents have been criminally charged in separate but related cases of mob action.
The following individuals were each charged with a Class 4 felony count of mob action on March 18, 2025:
-
Kiana D. Garrett, 25, of Alton
-
Recardia C. Bailey, 28, of Cottage Hills
According to court documents, both individuals acted together and without legal authority by using force against the same victim on Jan. 1, 2025. Specifically, they are accused of striking the victim “about the face and body.”
Both cases against Garrett and Bailey were presented by the East Alton Police Department.
While both were remanded to jail for their initial court appearance, Madison County Sheriff’s Office records indicate they have since been granted pretrial release from custody.
All individuals charged are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
