Late teen's kin could face arrest for ransacking of t-shirt stand
Prosecutors are now considering criminal charges against members of Michael Brown’s family in connection with a violent confrontation over the sale of merchandise commemorating the late teenager, who was shot to death last year by a police officer.
The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney recently received the results of a months-long investigation by Ferguson Police Department detectives who probed the October 18 beating and robbery of t-shirt vendors, one of whom was hospitalized following the assault.
A prosecutor’s spokesperson told TSG that lawyers are now reviewing material forwarded by police, a package that addresses charges that could be filed against the suspects.
The decision on whether to pursue charges in connection with the ransacking of the “Justice for Mike Brown” merchandise operation (seen above) is particularly sensitive since Lesley McSpadden, Brown’s mother, is named in a police report as one of the “attackers” who participated in the assault, which cops classified as a felony armed robbery.
Additionally, prosecutors are mulling charges in the face of a Department of Justice probe that has concluded that Ferguson cops have engaged in a “pattern and practice” of discrimination against African-American citizens, whose rights have routinely been violated by members of the Missouri city’s predominantly white police force.
The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney also handled the grand jury presentment in the Brown case, which ended when jurors declined to vote indictments against Officer Darren Wilson, the Ferguson cop who killed the unarmed teenager.

Good. Hit them hard!
Browns mother has a right to be pissed off,people profiting from her sons death.
why are they "mulling" the brown family was on video inciting a riot, they should be charged
10:43 So. He's not a registered trademark, patented or anything of the sort. Plenty of mass producer profited, but they didn't go after them. Suck it up.
No she doesn't 10:34. She and she alone put Brown in the spotlight. When you choose to go public, others look to profit. And when they do you do like a civil person does and proceed with the proper channels of the law.
She's the perfect example of why her son is dead. It's her fault and her fault alone. She's an uncivilized baby machine who only knows how to lay on her back and spread her legs but when it comes to parenting she's a loser.
Send them to prison for a very long time!! Criminals, all of them!
