The defendant was convicted of Assault in the Second Degree, a class D violent felony, for his involvement in a brawl at the Wine Cellar in Jamestown on July 30, 2022.
The incident erupted into violence, leaving four individuals injured. Codie Swartz was found to have attacked one victim and subsequently injured three others who tried to intervene.
