Now LaMarr, 27, and his girlfriend, Abbey Busch, 25, are talking about that incident. They allege Neil’s unprovoked attack at Wheelhouse on May 26 left them bruised, sore and shaken.

Neil’s attorney, Brian Millikan, declined to comment.

LaMarr and Busch, who live in Florida, said they had just gotten into town that night and were visiting with Busch’s siblings at the bar. Neither was drinking heavily, they said.

LaMarr was standing next to Busch, daughter of Kräftig beer founder William K. “Billy” Busch, when Neil ran into him. LaMarr’s Kräftig spilled all over the floor. “Which was a tragedy,” LaMarr quipped.

LaMarr said he yelled, “Excuse me!” as Neil pushed past.

“‘What did you say?’” LaMarr recalled Neil asking. “‘Say, ‘Excuse me,’ one more time.’”

“So I said, ‘Excuse me!’” LaMarr said.

Neil lunged. With Busch standing between the two men, Neil’s tackle took them both out, they said.

“We were just lying there, flat on our backs, blown away by what just happened,” LaMarr said.
