Officers Saturday were sent to a Taco Bell on West O St on the report of a weapons violation. The caller told police a man used a metal rod to break into the Taco Bell. Arriving officers spoke with employees and witnesses and determined that employees Lucas Smith, 18, and Caleb Baumgartner, 19, were fighting Christopher Schmidt, 53. The fight erupted after Schmidt refused to leave the Taco Bell on Smith and Baumgartner’s demands.
Witnesses told police that Schmidt was hit with an aluminum broom stick and one of the restaurant’s metal chairs. Schmidt, Baumgartner, and Smith, were all cited and jailed on various charges.
