Fight: A man received a text message from another male, challenging him to a fight in an ongoing dispute regarding a woman. The man met the other male at the parking lot of a bank, at which point they began fighting. The man reported that, during the altercation, the other male pulled out a baseball bat, hitting him in the arm and then breaking out windows in his car. The other male admitted to his involvement in the altercation, but said he only used the baseball bat out of self-defense when one of the man’s friends began swinging a rifle at him. Both men said they did not wish to press charges for the incident.
