LIMA, OH (WLIO) - A Lima man accused of being involved in a bar fight that left one person in serious injuries back in January has changed his plea.
21-year-old Donovan Denson entered a plea of guilty to the sole count of felonious assault in his case. In exchange for his plea, the state will not make any sentencing recommendation but will reserve the right to play a video of the bar fight at J's American Pub. Denson also had his bond lowered to twenty thousand dollars cash assurety, along with the stipulation that if he posts bond, he goes under house arrest and must wear an ankle monitor. A sentencing date has been set for September 21, 2022.
Police say that they responded to J's American Pub just after midnight on January 22nd where they found Brandin Fisher-Jones in the parking lot with injuries to his face and body. Police then identified Denson, as well as Janiqua Bailey and Nicholas Williams, as suspects in the case and took them into custody in early February.
