‘It was never about paying the tab’: Witness recounts Pike’s Pub beating
ALLEN CO., Ind. (WANE)— A man who was at Pike’s Pub Friday night, when another man was beaten spoke, to WANE 15 about what he saw and heard after a video of the brawl went viraland made national headlines.
The man spoke with WANE 15 under the condition that his identity would remain anonymous. He said he feared retaliation against him and his family from the Outlaws Motorcycle Club.
The witness said he wasn’t there long before chaos broke out. One narrative that has spread on social media was that the man who eventually fell victim to punches, kicks, chairs being thrown at him and racial slurs, was skipping out on paying his tab after being cut off. The witness said that was not the case.
The bartender told him he could have another drink,” the witness said. “The owner’s boyfriend told him he was cut off. And the owner’s boyfriend was way more drunk than he was.”
The witness said it seemed to him that the owner’s boyfriend was trying to “abuse his authority,” and kick the man out. The man was a regular, according to this witness.
“He planned on paying,” the witness said. “He wasn’t trying to leave without paying. It was never about paying the tab, because he always pays his tab.”
According to the witness, the victim has his card out ready to pay at one point. That’s when he says men wearing vests labeled ‘Outlaw’ began to show up.
“Three or more other of them walk in before [the victim] even got to reply,” The witness said. “They were telling him that he needed to leave. He went to leave. And that’s when the [owner’s boyfriend] grabbed his arm and said you’re going to pay your tab [expletive]. And that’s when the Outlaws tightened up and squeezed around him.”
The witness said one of the men dressed in Outlaw gear hit the victim in the face and that was when several other man began to attack the victim, who was Black. In the video, at least one person can be heard yelling out a racial slur.
The witness said police weren’t called until after the victim had been hit, punched and kicked repeatedly. Once police arrived, officers located the victim and spoke with him, according to the Allen County Sheriff’s Department. They said the victim did not want to provide information on individuals responsible for his injuries. He was taken to a hospital in fair condition.
WANE 15 asked the Sheriff’s Department if federal authorities might be brought into the ongoing criminal investigation and whether this could be a federal hate crime due to the language used in that was heard in the viral video.
The Sheriff’s Department said the case has been assigned to a detective.
“It is very early in the investigation and he is still getting the case together,” a Public Information Officer with the department said.
The witness said he would like to see those seen beating the man held accountable for their actions.
“I want everybody to not have to feel like they’re walking on eggshells when they go into any of the bars,” he said. “Whether they’re white, whether they’re black, whether they’re Mexican, Latino, Dominican; everybody should be entitled to go into any bar.”
