EVANSVILLE, Ind. — A 20-year-old Evansville man was arrested Friday night after allegedly using a handgun to assault a woman during a violent altercation at a local bar.
Evansville Police Department (EPD) officers responded to a call just before 11:30 PM near South Green River Road and Washington Avenue after reports of a person carrying a firearm. The incident unfolded outside the bar, where a fight broke out between several women as they were leaving the establishment. One of the victims, who was attempting to break up the altercation, told police that she was struck in the face with a handgun by the suspect, later identified as Trevion Ogburn.
According to the victim’s statement, Ogburn fled the scene in a gold Hyundai Sonata shortly before officers arrived. Police quickly located the suspect’s vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. Despite a search, no firearm was found on Ogburn’s person or in the vehicle.
Ogburn was taken into custody and transported to the Vanderburgh County Jail. He faces charges of battery committed with a deadly weapon and unlawful possession of tobacco by a minor, as he was found to be underage at the time of the incident.
The investigation into the altercation is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the details of the incident. Ogburn’s bond has not been set, and he remains in custody as of the latest update.
