Leslie McSpadden has been accused of leading others to attack and steal money from a group selling “Justice for Mike Brown” merchandise. If charged, McSpadden could face felony armed-robbery charges, reports the New York Daily News.

One of the people included in the group that was attacked was McSpadden’s former mother-in-law, Pearlie Gordon. Gordon claims that she was knocked down by the group that McSpadden led. In total, roughly $2,000 in merchandise and cash was taken by the group.
