Town council member facing assault charges

An election night fight resulted in the arrest of a Silverhill Town Council member on assault charges.

George Michael Allegri was booked into the Baldwin County Corrections Center shortly after 4 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 29. He was charged with third-degree assault, and was released after posting a $2,500 bail. According to a Baldwin County District Court clerk, who refused to give her name, no trial date has been set.

It is alleged that Allegri was fighting with Mark Crowson after the election Tuesday, August 26. Allegri lost his bid to continue as Place 1 council members to Bert Jones by an unofficial vote of 156-117.
