Watch: White men bikers spew racial slurs, beat black man in Indiana bar
White men spew racist slur, beat black man A disturbing incident at an Indiana bar, caught on camera, showed several white men wearing "Outlaw" biker vests physically assaulting a black patron, as reported New York Post. The violent confrontation occurred at Pike's Pub in Waynedale on Friday night, with footage showing patrons screaming as the altercation knocked drinks off tables. The Allen County Sheriff's Department received a call around 11 pm (US time) regarding an allegedly intoxicated person requiring removal from the premises. Upon arrival, the victim declined to provide details about his attackers. The victim was subsequently transported to a local hospital and was listed in fair condition. According to Pike's Pub owner Kelley Rost, who was absent during the incident, the confrontation began when the man refused to settle his bill. The assailants were identified as likely members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, a notorious group in Fort Wayne. 'There are two sides to every story,' Rost told the Wane 15. Fort Wayne Mayor Sharon Tucker expressed concern in a social media comment, stating she found the footage "very disturbing to watch. I am seeking answers as I am sure many of you are, too." 'I am in communication with our team and will continue to gather information as it becomes available,' Tucker said Local residents organised protests near the establishment, gathering in a nearby nursing home car park. Police revisited the premises on Saturday for further investigation, with the case now being transferred to the Criminal Investigations Division.

Kidnapping suspect arrested after authorities discover missing juvenile in her attic: police
A Kentucky woman was arrested last week after local authorities found a missing juvenile in her attic. Scottsville resident Donna M. Spengler, 42, was arrested in the early morning hours of Mar. 21, according to the Scottsville Police Department (SPD). She was charged with kidnapping, first-degree hindering prosecution and custodial interference, in addition to endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree unlawful imprisonment. In a Facebook post, the SPD explained that it had received a call at around 12:30 a.m. that morning about "a missing juvenile potentially located at the home of [Spengler]." When the SPD and the Allen County Sheriff's Department arrived at the scene, Spengler "claimed to be the sole occupant of the residence," authorities said. "Following the investigation, authorities discovered the missing juvenile hidden in the attic of Spengler's home," the report noted. The juvenile was then taken to the Warren County Juvenile Detention Center under a court order. Spengler was subsequently transported to the Allen County Detention Center, where she is being held on a $50,000 bond. Fox News Digital reached out to the SPD for additional information about the kidnapped juvenile, but did not immediately hear back. Authorities are actively investigating the incident. No additional details are known at this time.
