A Toledo man was taken to jail after striking another over the head with a bottle.
While on routine patrol at 12:54 a.m. Friday, Bowling Green police observed a large group of people standing outside a bar in the 100 block of North Main Street.
Police observed individuals within the group were fighting with one another. When the officer stepped out of the cruiser, the group dispersed.
Soon after, an individual approached officers to report he had been hit in the head with a beer bottle while inside the bar.
BG EMS was called to the scene. When officers went to the hospital to serve the man with a citation for disorderly conduct, they learned the person had a brain bleed and was going to be transported to a Toledo trauma center.
Later, the business manager informed officer that one of the members involved in the fight was a bouncer at the bar. He was identfied as Danny Witcher III, 23, Toledo.
Witcher was not working that night and was at the bar with friends.
Camera footage shows Witcher breaking up the fight between two individuals before finding himself in a fight with a group of individuals. He later informed police that bouncers are expected to act, even when they are not working.
After admitting to using a bottle to protect himself, he was arrested, charged with felonious assault and taken to jail.
