Weekend Wrap-Up - November 11, 2007
Knife Used In Saturday Night Bar Fight A fight involving a knife disrupted an otherwise pleasant evening last night at Waterloo’s popular sports bar, Bobeck’s. At approximately 12:15 a.m., a 911 call was made to report a fight at the bar and several individuals were bleeding. Police officers from Waterloo, Columbia and county deputies quickly arrived on the scene and handled the situation. According to witnesses, Matt Angarita and Ryan Novack had an argument. As Novack walked away he was allegedly stabbed in the back several times by Angarita. Bar patrons, including Jeff Zarzeck, Ryan Ebeler and Eric Eichner, separated the individuals and held them apart until the police officers arrived on the scene. Ebeler was cut in the arm and required stitches. Novack was transported by ambulance to St. Anthony’s Hospital where he remains recovering from the wounds, including an injured lung. Angarita was arrested and taken into custody by the Waterloo Police Department. Waterloo Police Chief Jim Trantham said he is looking over the reports filed last night by the officers, but no additional information is being released at this time. The establishment’s owner, Bob Cox, said he greatly appreciated the quick work of the patrons and the police officers. “We had the situation under control in a couple minutes,” said Cox. “In the 3 ½ years me and my wife have ran this place, we have never had any type of serious altercation.” Cox added he does not believe the person had ever been in Bobeck’s before and may have been looking to confront Novack because of a prior incident.
