Both had been drinking before they went to the bar. That night, the bar had an “open mic” forum and Nicholas Brutcher planned to do some stand-up comedy.
One of the bartenders working that night, told inspectors that Nicholas
and Nathan Brutcher arrived at approximately 7:00 p.m., and she served them one beer. She did not know what the other bartender, may have served them.
At one point, while he was sitting at the bar, another patron, whom the Bartender new
as Patron 1, came up to Nicholas Brutcher and put his arm around him. The Bartender saw Nicholas Brutcher elbow Patron 1 in the face/chest area. The Bartender told both to stop or she would call the police. Nicholas Brutcher and Patron 1 told her that they were going to take it outside. The Bartender followed Nicholas Brutcher and Patron 1 as they walked to the exit door.
In the vestibule by the front door, Nicholas Brutcher punched Patron 1 on the head from behind knocking him to the ground. They then continued fighting in the parking lot. Bartender 1 called the Bristol Police Department and reported the fight. When she went back into the bar, Bartender 1 saw Nathan Brutcher playing pool with others. Nathan Brutcher did not know that Nicholas Brutcher was in a fight. Once told, Nathan Brutcher left the bar and went into the parking lot.
At approximately 8:52 p.m., Officer Monica Finkle heard a call regarding a physical fight at Bleachers and advised Bristol Communications that she wouldrespond. Officer Harrison Pollock also responded to Bleachers and, upon arrival, bystanders
directed his attention to a white pickup truck leaving the parking lot. Officer Pollock reported that he intended to stop the vehicle.
