Recent renovations and the concert venue I work at has more the doubled the maximum capacity. This past weekend we had the largest show out there so far with over 9,000 people.
Since I run security this meant a busy night for me. I spent most the night running around non stop dealing with issues all over the place. The show started at 7 pm and was scheduled to go until 3 am. At about 1 am I finally got a chance to sit down for a second when I get a call over the radio "Security to the women's restroom" Being one of the one women working and the other 2 otherwise occupied searching people before they came in.
I walk out my office with my flashlight in hand and start working my way though the crowd, about half way there and still hearing the guy by the rest rooms yelling "Security to the women's restrooms." I start thinking something is seriously wrong. At the same time some guy steps directly in front of me. I asked him to move and what does he do????
He reaches out and grabs my boob, not just a bump but actually starts to fondle me, I take my flashlight I have in my other hand and swing bringing it has hard as I can right down on the guys hand. He screamed out in pain, I pushed past him and on the restrooms to take care of the problem there.
Now if I had known that the guy at the restrooms only wanted a break and it wasn't an emergency I would have dragged the jerk face off to the cops. Instead I ended up yelling at my staff for implying an emergency when all he wanted was a smoke. Then went and talked to my EMTs and told them to expect a guy to come in with a broken hand.
Sure enough 10 minutes later the guy comes walking into me office (security/medical office) complaining that security possibly broke his hand he needed it checked. He saw me and demanded that he wanted to press charges. EMTs checked is hand making sure to press extra hard when checking for breaks, they told me if it wasn't broken before we will make sure it is broken when he leaves. I went and fetched the sheriffs, told them the story of what happened they walk in and he yells I hit him and that he wants to press charges. The sheriff asked the EMTs is he needed an ambulance or not. They told them no need for an ambulance then the sheriffs arrested him for sexual assault and cuffed the broken hand

Let's hope he gets his due.
