CINCINNATI — A man who was both charged with disorderly conduct and listed as a victim in a late-July fight in downtown Cincinnati pleaded not guilty in court Tuesday, but details about the case remain hidden from public view.

Alex Tchervinski's lawyer, Doug Brannon, appeared in court on his behalf for the plea. Tchervinski was identified as the man seen on video slapping another man during what appears to be the beginning of the fight on Fourth and Elm streets. However, it's unclear if that action led to the disorderly conduct charge.

"I am not aware of what basis they made the disorderly conduct charge. It's not been explained to me by any prosecutor," Brannon said.

Brannon said prosecutors have filed a motion to seal the record, which they opposed.
