What does the charge simple affray mean?

Answer:

Two or more persons fighting in public causing a disturbance, first used in 1482. It is felt this type of fighting may spread to more people [e.g. classic bar fight] and may even precipitate a riot -- but certainly there is some degree of breach of peace for this charge.
