LEMON TOWNSHIP, Ohio --

A Middletown man was arrested on felony assault charges after surveillance cameras caught him attacking a bartender.

Police said 26-year-old Casey Fryman walked into Main Bar in Lemon Township on July 12 and demanded car keys from his father, who was sitting at the bar.

Fryman, who was not wearing a shirt, was highly agitated and acting aggressively, police said.

Police said the bartender asked Fryman to leave, but he threw a bar stool at her and quickly hopped over the bar.

Fryman picked up Terina King-Smeal, of Middletown, and threw her to the ground before stomping her, officers said.

He then climbed back over the bar and walked out of the building, police said.

Fryman was taken into custody on one count of misdemeanor assault.


But police raised the charge to felony assault after viewing the bar's surveillance cameras, which showed the attack from two different angles.

Fryman remains in police custody at the Middletown Jail.
