AURORA, Ill. — An off-duty Aurora firefighter has been charged with battery for allegedly punching a female bartender in the face after she told him to snuff out his cigar, the Aurora Beacon News is reporting.
Daniel Ahasic, 43, is facing a misdemeanor battery charge following the Dec. 22 incident at Stoney’s bar, 1000 block of Ridgeway Avenue in an unincorporated area of Kane County near west suburban Aurora.
“He evidently didn’t like that she asked him to put the (cigar) out, and then turned around and knocked her out,” said bartender Ricky Kauski, who said he witnessed the entire event. “It was the craziest thing I’ve seen in my life.”
