A violent weekend in Lancaster involves a shooting, stabbing and a bar fight

The past weekend in Lancaster City was a violent one. There was a shooting, stabbing, two assaults and more violence.

Early Saturday morning, police were conducting a normal check at The Village when a fight broke out inside the night club.

Officers entered the bar and discovered tables and bottles being thrown, and requested help to the scene.

Police arrested Tyree Eatmon and charged him with simple assault and disorderly conduct after he struck an employee in the back of the head with a wooden table. The employee was not seriously injured.

Police also charged Jeremiha Hunter, 25 of Hanover, with public drunkenness and disorderly conduct.

No one was seriously injured in the brawl.

Later Saturday evening, Police were called to the Friendly Greek Bar for a large fight. Two women, Carmen Bonilla and Evelyn Garcia, were arrested for badly beating a man and woman. Both of the victims had to be rushed to the hospital.

Also Saturday night, a fight broke out at a baby shower at the Brunswick Hotel, which has had its fair share of issues over the years. One person was stabbed in the incident, although it is unknown who the suspect was because the victim was not cooperative.

Also Saturday evening, police responded to a report of shots fired at the Bird’s Nest Night Club on Prince Street.

They found a 23-year-old who had been shot in the back and rushed him to the hospital. He is expected to survive his injuries.

Several people at the Bird’s Nest scene were interviewed, and Dana Johnson Jr. was arrested and charged with possession with intent to deliver cocaine.

“When you get large groups of people consuming large amounts of alcohol, sometimes this is the end result,” commented Lancaster Police Lieutenant Todd Umstead. “People get nasty and get violent. It’s an unfortunate thing. We want people to come to Lancaster City and have a good time. If people want to come here and make trouble, stay home.”

If you have any information on any of these incidents, you are asked to call the Lancaster City Police Department at 717-735-3300.
