Arrow Flies After Bar Fight That Led to Walmart Parking Lot Demo Derby: Cops

Joliet, IL — A fight in a Shorewood bar escalated to the point where one man pulled out a bow and arrow and let a shot fly, and then two cars repeatedly crashed into each other outside Walmart, police said.

The chaos started with an early Saturday morning brawl at the Shorewood tavern Bedrocks, police said, where Kevin Troesch, 23, squared off with John Bailey, also 23, and they both got thrown out.

Bailey took off in a Mercedes, and Troesch left the bar in a Saturn driven by 24-year-old Jacob Ward, police said, and the two vehicles bumped each other as they headed east on Jefferson Street.

Bailey then pulled alongside the Saturn and invited Troesch to fight again, so the two cars turned into the Inwood Golf Course parking lot.

Bailey and his unidentified passenger exited the Mercedes, police said, and Bailey pulled a bow and arrow out of his trunk.

Bailey let an arrow fly and it hit one of the Saturn’s doors, police said. Ward then drove off but allegedly hit the Mercedes on the way out of the parking lot.

Bailey caught up with the Saturn at Barney Drive and tried to block it, police said, and the two vehicles slammed into each other. The two cars then ended up in the Walmart parking lot where they repeatedly struck each other some more.

At some point, Troesch switched places with Ward and took the wheel of the Saturn, police said, and he proceeded to circle the Mercedes and repeatedly ram it.

Both vehicles reportedly suffered significant damage.

Bailey, Troesch and Ward were all arrested and released on their own recognizance. Bailey’s passenger was not taken into custody.

Officers reportedly located two compound bows in the trunk of the Mercedes and confiscated them.
