A 29-year-old woman is now facing felony charges following what police say was a brawl involving approximately a dozen women at M&R Station.
A woman told police that Autumn Powell punched her in an incident in the early morning hours of Aug. 29. According to the complaint, the two had prior history that helped lead to the conflict. The fight was part of a much larger brawl involving at least a dozen women, and bartenders described flying fists, a lot of screaming and beer bottles being thrown in a scene that appeared to be complete pandemonium.
A bartender told police Powell and others chased the woman farther behind the bar, and the bartender told her to hop over the counter and run out the door to escape.
Police reported arriving to see a group of women helping another woman to her feet in the bar’s driveway, and several people ran as officers arrived.
Powell initially told police she had been in the bathroom, according to the criminal complaint. Then she admitted to fighting but said she only acted after the other woman pulled her hair.
Powell faces felony bail jumping charges, along with misdemeanor battery and resisting or obstructing an officer.
