Three Arrested After Attack At Restaurant

Mon., May 24, 1999

From Staff

Spokane police jailed three men from Fairchild Air Force Base Survival School last Sunday after they allegedly slashed another man’s face with a glass at the Ram Restaurant downtown.

Michael A. Ough, Nathan A. Zrucky and Jacob L. Zedaker were arrested soon after the incident at 1 a.m. Sunday.

Witnesses told police that the three had been annoying the 27-year-old victim’s girlfriend. When he objected, witnesses said, the three suspects hit him in the face with a glass, jumped on him and began beating him.

Bouncers at the Ram, 908 N. Howard, broke up the fight. The victim received more than a dozen stitches in his head and face at a local hospital.

Ough, Zrucky and Zedaker are all 21 years old, police said. The trio listed the survival school as their address.
