Nearly a dozen men ambushed a Citronelle trailer park carrying several weapons including a sawed off shotgun.
Police believe the gunmen were trying to intimidate a resident in the trailer park, who was also a robbery victim the night before.
Michael Smith, 40, was stabbed in the leg Friday night after two men stole his wallet in the parking lot of Betty Joe's Bar. Brandon and Carl Newburn are charged with the robbery and assault.
Saturday night, police say Brandon Newburn and seven other men threatened Smith at his home. Smith says one of the men put a gun in his face and told him he was dead.
"I just threw up my hands and started backing up," says Smith. "Then another one came out with a sawed off shotgun."
Brandon Newburn, Patrick Davis and Laborris Brooks are charged with inciting to riot for the ambush. The suspects also face gun charges. Six other men got away.
