Two men and a woman were charged after a group of people congregated in the parking lot of Wal-Mart, 2281 S. Main St., late Tuesday to see a fight.
Officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department were called about 11:15 p.m. after Matthew P. Standley and his father Rodney Standley reported the son was assaulted by a woman outside the store.
Matthew Standley, who is an employee of Wal-Mart, said he and co-worker Dalton P. Massey, 21, of 10345 Township Road 220, Belle Center, had a verbal argument at work earlier in the evening.
A group of people had assembled outside the store at about 11 p.m. waiting for a fight. Mr. Standley said he proceeded to his father’s vehicle attempting to avoid fighting when he was approached by a woman later identified as Emma Legge, 20, of 500 Gunntown Road, Apt. D2, who slapped and scratched him.
The alleged assailants had left the parking lot by the time officers arrived but were located later Tuesday or early today.
Ms. Legge was cited for assault while Mr. Massey and Michael D. Cox Jr., 19, of 318 Garfield Ave., were issued summonses for disorderly conduct.
