911 Groping, keg-tossing suspect busted in Crescent Lounge melee

Seattle Police arrested a man early Tuesday after a violent incident at the Crescent Lounge, where he allegedly groped multiple patrons and threw a keg of beer. The disturbance prompted police to respond to the 1400-block area just after midnight. Witnesses reported that the suspect assaulted staff and hurled a beer bottle at a bartender before attempting to flee. Officers tracked him down in his vehicle, aided by his distinctive flip-flops. The suspect was visibly impaired, with an open alcoholic drink in his car and a suspended license.

He faces several charges, including three counts of assault and two special allegations of sexual motivation. The chaos continued during his arrest, as he allegedly assaulted an officer while being taken for a blood test. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported during the incident at the Crescent.
