A fourth man has been charged in connection with a December brawl at the Trail Creek Inn in Killington.
Donnell Myers, 35, of Lindenhurst, N.Y., pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to a single misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. If convicted, he could face a maximum of 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. He was freed on conditions he have no contact with other defendants and witnesses in the case and stay away from the Trail Creek Inn.
Police said Myers was part of a fight that started with an argument about where a shuttle from the Pickle Barrel night club should stop. One of the combatants had a tooth knocked out, according to affidavits, a car was damaged and the door to one of the condominiums was battered open during the melee.
Two other New York men entered innocent pleas in connection with the incident last week, and an arrest warrant was issued for a third when he failed to appear for arraignment.

In a related story a couple of days ago:
Three New York men are facing charges after an alleged brawl in Killington.
Only a handful of details were available as few witnesses to the incident said much to police, but affidavits describe a combatant getting a tooth knocked out, an attempt to batter down a condominium door and a trail of blood between units at Trail Creek Inn.
Adam LaCast, 32, and, Jason Defilippis, 30, both of Farmingdale, N.Y., each pleaded innocent last week in Rutland criminal court to a misdemeanor charge of unlawful mischief. LaCast also denied a single misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct.
A third man, 27-year-old TJ Bertorello of Copiague, N.Y., was also scheduled for arraignment on one charge each of disorderly conduct and unlawful mischief, but did not appear in court Monday. Judge Nancy Corsones issued a warrant for his arrest.
LaCast and Defilippis were freed on conditions they have no contact with Bertorello or witnesses in the case and they stay away from Trail Creek Inn.
Vermont State Police said they responded in the early morning hours of Dec. 14 to what was initially listed as a vandalism call.
The initial complainant reported a group of drunk people trying to force their way into Unit 43 at the Trail Creek Inn. The two men staying in that room described a man breaking the door open by running into it, shouting “get the knife.” The men in the room told police they managed to keep the door closed.
A car parked nearby was reported damaged.
Police said they followed a blood trail in the snow from that room to another, where they found LaCast and Defillipis.
LaCast told police they were returning from the Pickle Barrel via the nightclub’s shuttle service when an argument broke out among passengers about where the shuttle would stop. LaCast said he was jumped by multiple attackers as he got out and fought back, knocking out the tooth of one of his assailants, but cutting his hand in the process.
LaCast offered no information about the door being broken, according to affidavits. Police said Defilippis, who matched the description they were given of the man who broke down the door, did not give a statement.
Police said they went to Unit 49, where a security guard had told police a man entered the unit after the reported fight. There, police said, they found Bertorello, who was missing a tooth but denied knowing anything about a fight and refused to provide a sworn statement. However, police said Bertorello’s cellphone was found near the damaged car.
Police cited the three men in early January.
