Description
On November 10, 1976, there was a brawl at Tinys Tavern in Wapato. Defendant David Garcia was not participating when several police officers managed to move it outside the tavern. However, the jury was entitled to believe that when Bruce Olson, a uniformed reserve officer for the Wapato police, was attempting to separate a group of combatants, defendant lunged towards Officer Olson and struck him in the upper right arm with enough force to cause a bruise that lasted for several days. Olson testified that two or three others also grabbed him, but he was able to identify only defendant. Defendant admitted grabbing, but not striking, Olsons arm. He claims he did this to prevent Olson from applying his nightstick to the head of another man who, defendant claimed, was attempting to break up the fight. The jury convicted defendant of third-degree assault under RCW 9A.36.030(1).
