ST. CHARLES – A Geneva man who tried to start a fight with a bar employee in St. Charles on Sunday was not only charged with aggravated assault but also arrested on five warrants from two jurisdictions, according to a St. Charles Police Department report.
Ryan Thomas Fitzsimmons, 30, of the 2700 block of Peterson Court, Geneva, reportedly attracted police attention when he tried to start a fight with an employee at Alley 64 in downtown St. Charles.
Before making physical contact, he reportedly pulled a folding knife out, flipped the 3 1/2-inch blade open and held it out to the employee in a threatening manner.
The police report indicated Fitzsimmons has been banned from nearly all the bars in downtown St. Charles.
Police charged Fitzsimmons with aggravated assault and arrested him on two warrants from Aurora and three from Kane County for failing to appear in court on a charge of driving with a suspended license and four charges of obtaining a substance by fraud, according to the report.
Fitzsimmons was reportedly taken to the Kane County Adult Justice Center. Online records indicate he was being held on $34,500 bail.
