Assault on bartender leads to charge
YOUNGSTOWN — Paul Lindsay, 38, of the 3000 block of Glen Oaks was arrested about 1:56 a.m. Sunday after assaulting a bartender at Big D’s, 3143 Mahoning Ave.
The bar owner told police he asked Lindsay to leave because he was bothering another bar patron, an ex-girlfriend. The bar owner said Lindsay became upset and punched a bartender who had accompanied the owner. Police said Lindsay punched the bartender multiple times in the head, and Lindsay was escorted out of bar, where a large crowd was found in the parking lot.
He was charged with assault and misuse of 911 after he called the emergency number from the back of a cruiser because he wanted to know why police had put him there. He was taken to the Mahoning County jail. The victim was seeking medical treatment.
