SEATTLE - A man accused of assaulting a bartender at a karaoke bar in Capitol Hill, groping women, driving under the influence and assaulting an officer faced a judge on Wednesday morning.
The backstory
Police say 41-year-old Anthony Suttle assaulted an officer who took him to a hospital to get a blood draw after he was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence early Tuesday morning.
Suttle pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and obstruction of police of an officer.
Prior to his arrest, Suttle was at The Crescent Lounge in Capitol Hill where police say groped women and threw a keg at a bartender.
"Assault of any kind is disturbing. It affects you, but thankfully, physically no one was hurt," said David Munden, a manager at The Crescent Lounge.
Munden says after Suttle groped women at the bar, the bartender told him to leave.
"[Suttle] ripped his jacket off ranted and raved, knocked a bunch of stuff off of the bar," said Munden.
Surveillance footage shared with Fox 13 shows the heated exchange between Suttle and the bartender which lasted only a few minutes before Suttle eventually leaves and is arrested by SPD.
"We have an absolute zero tolerance on anything like that," said Munden.
Munden doesn't believe Suttle targeted the LGBTQ+ community.
Prior to the brawl, Munden says his staff did not recognize Suttle but they do now, and he is no longer allowed back into the business.
"[The Crescent Lounge] has been a safe place for everybody in our community for many decades, and we will keep it that way," said Munden.

Boeing to Pay $1.1B Instead of Going to Trial Over 737 Max Crashes
Boeing signed a non-prosecution agreement to avoid federal prosecution stemming from deadly 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019. The jet maker will pay $1.1 billion as part of the deal, which included investments in compliance programs and payouts to the relatives of those who died in the crashes. Boeing admitted to conspiracy to defraud the FAA's Aircraft Evaluation (BA) has agreed to pay $1.1 billion in fines to avoid federal prosecution related to the pair of 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019 that killed more than 300 people. The jet maker signed a non-prosecution agreement requiring it to invest $455 million in compliance and safety programs and pay out an additional $444.5 million in compensation to the families of those who died in the crashes. Boeing is also responsible for a criminal monetary penalty of $487.2 million, half of which the company paid in 2021, which leaves $243.6 million outstanding. Boeing admitted as part of the agreement to a conspiracy to defraud the Federal Aviation Administration's Aircraft Evaluation Group, which had been evaluating the 737 Max's flight control system in the years preceding the crashes. Going forward, Boeing agreed to report to an independent compliance consultant, who will in turn report to the government. Granting Boeing a non-prosecution agreement represents a shift in approach by the Department of Justice under the Trump administration. The case had been scheduled to go to trial on June 23, but the DOJ last month reportedly told relatives of those killed in the Boeing crashes that the government could lose, which would prevent the department from securing additional relief. Lawyers for the families said they plan to formally object to the move. Shares of Boeing were little changed in early trading Thursday. The stock has gained 20% in 2025 so far.
