There were no details of the circumstances, timing or location of his arrest other than that it occurred below West 130th Street as it was recorded in the 28th Precinct police blotter. Hughes was one of three men, together with William Jackson and Roger Scott, who appeared in the police blotter and in the list of those arrested for riot published in the in the Atlanta World, Afro-American, Norfolk Journal and Guide.
