Spokane Valley Police A Saturday night bachelor party turned into a drunken brawl early Sunday landing the would-be groom and two pals in the Spokane County Jail on felony charges.

911 operators began receiving reports of a large fight at Goodtymes Pub, 9214 E. Mission, about 1 a.m. Sunday. The first officer to arrive, Brian Frost, found 25 or more people in the parking lot and active fighting underway.

Frost attempted to separate three of the combatants, but the men surrounded him and began shoving him. That reception prompted more than 25 officers and deputies to respond from Spokane Valley Police, Spokane Police, the Washington State Patrol and the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office.

Before the fighting was put to a stop, Frost had suffered numerous cuts and abrasions on his face and forehead and one of the combatants had cuts and abrasions as well. A second combatant began having difficulty breathing. All three were taken to a hospital where their injuries were judged minor.

Officers said the incident began when one of the party guests, 22-year-old Shad E. Armstrong, went into the parking lot and began jumping on a car and extensively damaging it.

When others poured out of the bar to stop him, fighting broke out. When the dust settled, Armstrong was under arrest for one count of Third-Degree Assault on Law Enforcement, one count of Intimidation of a Public Servant and one count of felony Malicious Mischief.

The honored bachelor, 27-year-old Brandon N. Peterson, was booked into jail on three counts of Third-Degree Assault on Law Enforcement and one count of Intimidation of a Public Servant.

Kershawn Grigsby, 24, was booked for two counts of Third-Degree Assault on Law Enforcement and one count of Intimidation of a Public Servant.
