He took a 3 on 1 fight inside and out probably by dudes 10 years younger than him.
Most articles claim it was 6 on 1, and he said he thought there were 7 guys. Scottsdale police arrested 6 men. As soon as they described the Houston's with the CVS nearby, I knew which one it was because one of the schools I cover is just down the street from it.

Ex-NHL player Paul Bissonnette assaulted by 6 men at Arizona restaurant: 'It escalated extremely quickly'


"It’s a family restaurant; I don’t think there was anybody in there who could go maybe help him out. So, I went over, I just grabbed the guy's arm that was on [the manager]. I said ‘Sir, if you continue to harass and assault the staff, we’re gonna have problems.’ And then they just started chucking. So, it escalated extremely quickly. I think it was seven guys I fought with throughout the course of the restaurant all the way into the parking lot over to CVS."

According to FOX10, Scottsdale police arrested six men involved in the fight on charges of assault and disorderly conduct. Five are facing misdemeanors and the sixth is facing a felony. They were not identified by law enforcement, according to the report.

They were talking about this on 98.7

Bizz stood up to the drunk men who were mad they were cut off, and they were harassing the staff


Good for Bizz!
Need more of this in society rather than people standing around and filming with their cell phones. Huge props to him and I hope he didn't get too hurt. He said that they did get him to the ground and started kicking him in the head. Real tough guys ganging up on one man like that and all. SMH. Their identities should definitely be released. No expectation of privacy when you assault people in public.

As much as you may be incensed by whatever media reports you read or listen to, each of those accused are presumed innocent, and a government agency releasing mugshots prior to any guilty finding is a violation of privacy rights. Once a criminal case is filed, the public record will identify the defendants, but there will be no mugshots.

I am surprised because the Maricopa Sheriff changed their policy. So Scottsdale continues it. I assume there will be more lawsuits. I don’t know about you, but I am not in favor of public shaming those who have been arrested. We all know police make mistakes.

Sean Daley - the one booked on felony (Fake Military ID) is from Lubbock. Wonder if the others are from out of town as well.
