BG Police Division arrests Defiance man for alleged assault

Bowling Green Police Station

Bowling Green Police arrested a Defiance man on Nov. 21 after he reportedly assaulted others at a bar in the 300 block of East Wooster Street.

Police responded at 1:57 a.m. to the alleged assault, and arrested Jonathan Melioli, 22. Video from the establishment reportedly showed Melioli punching a person three times in the face, and shoving people.

To stop the assaults, another bar patron pushed Melioli to the ground, causing a cut above his eyebrow. Melioli was taken to Wood County Hospital to be cleared medically, then transported to Wood County Jail.
