Two men are facing charges after allegedly assaulting others with a metal container during a bar fight early Sunday at Skybox Nightclub in Port Huron.

Jacob White, 23, of Detroit was charged with one count of assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of assaulting, resisting or obstructing a police officer. The alleged weapon of choice was a "metal trash/cigarette receptacle."

White is a habitual offender and his bond was set at $25,000 cash or surety. If he makes bond, he is not to contact the victims or set foot on the property of the nightclub.

Marcel Woods, 26, of Port Huron, was charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of assaulting, resisting or obstructing a police officer. Officials also alleged Woods' weapon of choice was the cigarette receptacle.

Woods is a habitual offender as well. His bond was set at $30,000 cash or surety.

Both have a pre-conference hearing on April 18 and a probable cause conference on April 25 in St. Clair County District Court.

In addition to Woods and White, three other people were arrested as well Sunday. About 100 people were involved in the disorderly conduct.

Port Huron Police Lt. Brian Georgia said police responded to 402 Quay St. shortly before 2 a.m. to reports of a large fight.

On arrival, there were multiple fights going on outside with at least 10 people involved, Georgia said. There were an approximately 100 people inside the bar also being disorderly, non-compliant and participating in "anti-police rhetoric," he said.

Ultimately five people were taken into custody:

Woods, a 26-year-old Port Huron man has been lodged for assault and battery and a felony charge of assault on a police officer.

White, a 23-year-old Port Huron man was arrested for felonious assault, resisting and obstructing police and disorderly conduct.

A 21-year-old Port Huron man was taken into custody for resisting and obstructing police.

And two Port Huron men, 21 and 33, were charged with disorderly conduct.

No injuries were reported.

Skybox Nightclub will be under review for possible liquor license violations, Georgia said.
