William and Patrick Prescott have been charged with aggravated battery for their roles in a deadly fight Monday morning.

The end result - their own brother was killed - and they are now behind bars.

Twenty-four-year-old William Prescott and his brother, 21-year-old Patrick Prescott, are charged with three counts of aggravated battery.

Prosecutors say it's for their role in what resulted in the shooting death of their own brother - 23-year-old James Prescott.

The prosecutor says two brothers came to a home on Lakeside Avenue and got into a fight.

“You can see William has bruises, he was attacked by 15 people,” said Sam Hoagland, defense attorney.

The two brothers left - and according to the prosecutor - returned with their brother and returned with weapons.

One came back with a hammer, another with rebar, the third the equivalent of brass knuckles - and all three wearing mouth guards.

Prosecutors say it was a clear sign they were ready and willing to get into a fight.

‘When you come equipped with mouthpieces and things like that, you're coming equipped for a brawl,” said Matt Williams, Valley County Prosecutor. “It's not just, 'I'm gonna punch you and get you back.' And some of that clearly was revenge motivation for the fight previously, and the fact that they were outnumbered, and they were coming back for revenge on that.”

Police say the man that killed Preston says he acted in self-defense. He has not been charged, but the investigation into the shooting is still ongoing.

Prosecutors asked for $250,000 bail, but the judge reduced the amount for each man to $100,000, recognizing they are both grieving the loss of their brother, but also calling them a danger to the community.
