4 Arrested After Separate South Side Fights
SOUTH SIDE (KDKA) - Pittsburgh Police made four arrests early this morning after two separate incidents on Carson Street, on the city's South Side.
Michael Small, 21, of Peters Twp., Destinee Knox, 23, of Washington, Pa., and Zachary Willis, 21, of Finleyville, were arrested in one incident outside Mario's South Side Saloon.
The trio was charged with assault and resisting arrest.
As police were trying to arrest Small, who they said was fighting with another man, Willis tried to intercede, and started pushing one of the officers.
As Willis was being taken into custody, Knox tried to get involved, and she allegedly tried to kick one of the officers before being arrested.
In the other incident nearby, police said they saw Evan Blodgett throwing punches at an employee from another bar.
When ordered to break up the fight, Blodgett reportedly kept swinging his fists. When he was subdued, officers said they found a bag of frozen sliced potatoes under the right pants leg, near his ankle, and a frozen bag of Mrs. T.'s Pierogies under the pants of his left leg.
The items were reportedly stolen a short time earlier from a business called Bar Local.
The fight between Blodgett and the bar employee started when they saw him in the restricted area of the kitchen and told him to leave.
He described Blodgett as "highly intoxicated, and disorderly."
