Bowling Green Police responded to a variety of calls in the downtown area between late Friday night (March 27) through early Sunday (March 29) morning.
Shortly before midnight on Friday, an officer was doing a walk-through at a bar in the first block of North Main Street, when a bar employee said two people wearing ski masks were making patrons uncomfortable. The employee had reportedly asked them to remove the masks, which they did, then immediately put them back on.
Police located them, and found one of them was a 15-year-old boy from Fremont, who reportedly had multiple small bags of marijuana.
The teen was charged with underage possession of marijuana, obstructing official business, and possession of criminal tools. He was taken to the Wood County Juvenile Detention Center.
On Sunday, around 1:24 a.m., police were flagged down by a pedestrian at the corner of North Prospect Street and East Wooster Street. Officers were told that a man in a vehicle had “pulled and cocked” a gun at them.
The described vehicle was pulled over by the police on North Main Street near Clay Street. Two handguns were found under the front seats. Nathaniel Horace, 22, of Toledo, reportedly told officers he felt threatened and as a gun owner he had the right to pull out his firearm.
Horace was arrested for aggravated menacing and taken to Wood County Jail.
A short while later, at 1:46 a.m. Sunday, police were flagged down in the first block of North Main Street, for an unconscious man lying in the street, with blood streaming from the back of his head and his mouth, according to the police report.
A woman told police that the man had been blindsided and punched in the face. The man was taken to Wood County Hospital, where police were told he had bilateral jaw fractures.
Video footage from the downtown area showed a suspect hit the man, then run and take off his shirt, then get in a vehicle with a visible license plate. Police were working to track down the suspect.
