Bowling Green Police Division cited four women and two men with fighting in the downtown area this weekend.
Four women were charged with disorderly conduct/fighting downtown early Saturday morning.
At 12:50 a.m., a Bowling Green police officer was alerted by bar staff in the 100 block of North Main Street that there was a fight going on behind the bar.
When the officer arrived, he reportedly saw a group of females striking and shoving three other people.
The people being struck told police that the group of four women had cut in front of them in line to get into a bar. The four women reportedly began attacking them when the people in line informed them that they had cut in front of them.
A bouncer at the bar told police he heard shouting from the back door, and saw the four women shove past others in the line. The women then began attacking others in the line, the bouncer said.
Police cited Tyreasha Draper, 20, Bowling Green; Daija Jones, 19, Cleveland; Myleyah Crawl-Bey, 18, Shaker Heights; and a 17-year-old BGSU student with disorderly conduct/fighting.
Later Saturday, around 3 a.m., police responded to the 300 block of East Wooster Street for a fight between two men in a parking lot. When police arrived, multiple bystanders were trying to intervene and pull back the men fighting.
When the officer identified himself as law enforcement, the two men reportedly began to quickly walk away from the scene.
Officers caught up to both men and charged Lucas Weber, 19, Huron, and Craig Gibson, 31, Bowling Green, with disorderly conduct/fighting.
Weber told police he was standing in line at a food truck when Gibson walked up to him and punched him in the face multiple times. Weber denied hitting Gibson.
Witnesses told police that the altercation began as a verbal argument, and that Gibson initiated the physical fight and struck Weber first. The two began to “wrestle” in the parking lot for a short period before several bystanders intervened to separate the men.
Witnesses told officers that it appeared to be a “mutual fight” with no innocent victim. Surveillance footage was retrieved from a nearby establishment which captured the incident. The footage was submitted into the electronic records file.
