ONE HURT, TWO ARRESTED: One man was taken to the hospital and two men were taken to jail after an assault early Sunday in the parking lot of the Denny's restaurant at 4785 Beckley Road. Battle Creek police were called at 2:29 a.m. and when they arrived found a man, 33, unconscious and not breathing in the parking lot. Officers began CPR until paramedics from Lifecare Ambulance arrived and the man, who was then sitting up and responsive, was taken to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo for treatment of a head injury. Police said the man and two women were walking toward the restaurant when two Battle Creek men, both aged 31, said to the victim, "Are you with these whores?" The women continued walking, the victim's wife said, but, at the door, when she turned, she saw her husband on the ground. Police said video from the restaurant shows the women entered the doors of the restaurant and the victim then turned, with his hands up, came back outside and one of the suspects punched him once and the victim fell to the pavement. Officers said then the second man hit the victim in the face and swung his fist at the man's wife who had returned and was trying to help her husband by hitting the suspect with her purse. The man who first hit the victim was found at another restaurant and arrested on a charge of aggravated assault. He said he hit the victim because he was threatened but later told deputies at the Calhoun County jail that he sucker punched the victim without warning. The second man was arrested on charges of assault on the victim and his wife, and he said nothing happened in the parking lot. Police said both suspects had been drinking.

Marshall police were called to the parking lot at Marshall High School at 9:24 p.m. Thursday and reported that a 33-year-old man told them the other man pointed a handgun at him. Both people were in vehicles and had a verbal dispute after the older man said his pickup was cut off in traffic. The two men began to argue, and the younger man approached the older man's pickup. The older man was holding a handgun outside the door of his truck, and the victim said it was pointed at him. The younger man also had a permit to carry a weapon, but police said he did not display his gun. The younger man then walked to where he could obtain the license plate of the pickup as police arrived. Officers took the gun from the older man and said they also found a liquor bottle in his truck and that he had a blood-alcohol level of .10 percent. He was taken to the Calhoun County jail.
