Five people were arrested following a fight in Northgate early Sunday morning that started with an altercation inside Hurricane Harry’s. Police responded to a fight in the 300 block of Church Avenue around 2:30am. Officers found two men fighting on the ground in the emergency vehicle lane near the Northgate promenade parking lot. The men, identified as 45-year-old Jason Lynn Wenzel, of Lubbock, and 22-year-old Isaiah Charles Andrews, of Universal City, were separated and detained along with two women involved in the disturbance. Police say the confrontation began earlier inside Hurricane Harry’s. Wenzel and Andrews were involved in an altercation and removed from the bar. The argument continued outside, where Andrews told officers Wenzel began arguing with him and two women. Andrews said Wenzel put his hands on one of the women, prompting him to intervene. Surveillance video showed 43-year-old Ashley Nicole Rains, of Lubbock, pushing 22-year-old Hailey Elizabeth Spurlock, of Schertz, who pushed Rains back. The video also showed Andrews and Wenzel arguing before the confrontation turned physical. 22-year-old Rylee Nicole Paris, of College Station, was also detained after approaching officers and admitting involvement. Wenzel, Andrews, Rains and Spurlock were arrested for Disorderly Conduct by Fighting. Paris was arrested for Disorderly Conduct Involving an Offensive Gesture after shoving her hands into Wenzel’s face. All are free on $300 Personal Recognizance Bonds.
