DANBURY, Conn. (AP) - Danbury police say a dispute over a karaoke song triggered a brawl at a city restaurant that ended with the arrests of three men.
Police say they were called to Terra Brasilis Restaurant at
about 1:30 a.m. Saturday. They say 31-year-old Jefferson Gomez got
angry after he thought the karaoke disc jockey skipped the song he
wanted to sing.
Officers say bouncers threw Gomez out of the restaurant, but
his friend, 25-year-old Marcos DaSilva of Danbury, smashed a beer
bottle over the DJ's head. Bouncers then threw DaSilva out, but
police say the fighting continued outside.
Police say they arrested Gomez after a car chase. He's
charged with reckless driving, breach of peace and other crimes. He
posted his $10,000 bail.
DaSilva and another friend of Gomez, Jose Burges, were also
arrested.
