Tuesday, October 13, 2009

Two Fort Scott residents were arrested Sunday following a fight at a night club north of Pittsburg.

Zachary Crumby, 26, and Stephanie Weddle, 25, were arrested by the Bourbon County Sheriff's Office after leaving the Twisters Night Club, on U.S. Highway 69 north of Pittsburg, where they were allegedly involved in a fight which left three individuals injured.

The Crawford County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call at 1:01 a.m. Sunday reporting a large fight at the night club. When the first deputy arrived three minutes later the fight had concluded and a large crowd was in the parking lot, according to a statement from the Crawford County Sheriff's Office.

Twisters Night Club employee Bryan Gill was present and had received serious injury to his jaw and was taken to Mount Carmel Regional Medical Center in Pittsburg by a private vehicle. William Wivel, another employee, had been stuck in the face but required no medical attention. A third individual, Jerry Skaggs, received a shoulder injury in the bar and was also taken to MCRMC by a private vehicle.

Crumby and Weddle were stopped by Bourbon County Undersheriff Bill Martin shortly before 1:30 a.m. Sunday and taken into custody. Crumby was charged with aggravated battery on Gill while Weddle was charged with simple battery on Wivel. Weddle posted a $1,000 bond Sunday and Crumby posted a $25,000 bond Tuesday.

The investigation is still continuing as to what exactly happened causing the injuries to Skaggs.
