A man from Beaver County, Pennsylvania, is facing trial after allegedly using a $190 bottle of tequila as a weapon. The incident occurred in January at a Pittsburgh bar. Police say he hit another man, Joksam Reyes-Gonzalez, over the head, causing serious injuries. The attack happened around 2 a.m. on January 19 outside Insomnia Bar & Restaurante Mexicano. An argument between two groups of people quickly escalated into a brawl involving about 20 individuals. Surveillance footage showed Reyes-Gonzalez being carried away after the attack. He suffered a skull fracture and bleeding in the brain. His current condition is not known. Three men are charged in this case: 23-year-old Jose Miguel Rosario-Rosario, 25-year-old Jose Alberto Ventura-Rojas, and 28-year-old Luis David Navarro Nova. They face charges of attempted homicide and aggravated assault. All three were in court for preliminary hearings and are being held in jail. The police identified Rosario-Rosario through a credit card receipt from the tequila purchase. Court documents reveal that he used a passport from the Dominican Republic to open his credit card account. The immigration status of the suspects remains unclear. Defense attorneys for the accused have not made comments, but one lawyer indicated there may be more to the story.
