CAVE CREEK – Two Carefree brothers each pleaded not guilty to one count of aggravated assault, a class four felony, during an arraignment in the Superior Court of Arizona, Maricopa County, on May 31. The charges stem from an incident at Harold’s Cave Creek Corral early Saturday morning, April 1. Both remain free on bond.

Charles Richard “CR” Duley, 25, and Jay David Duley, 23, will appear before Commissioner David Cunanan at an initial pre‑trial hearing on Thursday, July 6, at 8:15 a.m. The brothers were arrested and booked on April 19. According to the Act of Violence Report filed by Harold’s with the Arizona Department of Liquor, the brothers allegedly assaulted Kevin Harris, a Cave Creek dentist, in the men’s room of the restaurant and bar on April 1. As a result of the alleged assault, Dr. Harris reportedly suffered facial scrapes and blood in his urine.

Dr. Harris could not be reached for comment.
