\nA Bowling Green man is facing charges after police say they responded to a report of an assault at a bar early Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
Officers with the Bowling Green Police Department responded to the 900 block of College Street after they received a report of an assault. The victim told police he was sitting at a bar when he was punched by a man.<\/p>\n
Employees escorted the man from the bar and he began to walk away going north on College Street, according to police. The man then stopped, pulled a handgun from his waistband and pointed it in the direction of people on the sidewalk before continuing to walk away from the area.<\/p>\n
Police said officers reviewed surveillance video and witness statements and were able to identify the man as 35 year-old Corey B. Ward. Officers found Ward at his home on Candle Court and took him into custody at the Warren County Regional Jail. He is being held under a $6,000 cash bond and scheduled to appear in court on September 18.<\/p>\n
Ward is charged with:
\nWanton endangerment, first-degree
\nAssault, fourth-degree
\nTampering with physical evidence<\/p>\n
Through investigation, officers found the handgun buried in mulch along with clothes that Ward was wearing during the disturbance, according to police.<\/p>\n
This case remains under investigation by the Bowling Green Police Department.
