Five Men Charged in Scuffle at Kingstown Bowl

Two customers and three employees of Kingstown Bowl have been arrested following an investigation into a closing time fight in Jan. 6.

According to reports, three security staff employees at Kingstown Bowl were escorting out two patrons whom they feared would vandalize property as they left the establishment. Just outside the doors of KB, the five men got into an altercation.

Vincent E. Keeble, 45, of 3 Paradise Ln. in Johnston, one of the patrons, allegedly punched one of the staff members in the face. He also struck another staff member in the back of the head with a beer bottle that he retrieved from her car, reports indicate. Keeble’s friend (Mark Tuchon, 45, of 52 Pine Tree Ln. in West Greenwich) allegedly had a knife and threatened the men. One of the employees said that, as the two men fled the scene, an “unknown” man smashed out one of the car’s windows.

Due to the fact that Tuchon and Keeble went to the East Greenwich Police Department to report the incident and that the cause of the altercation could not be determined, police decided to investigate further and not arrest Tuchon and Holland. According to reports, Tuchon’s face was red and swelling from the incident. The two told East Greenwich police that they were in a verbal argument with the staff while leaving the bar around closing time and were assaulted by three members of its security staff as they attempted to leave. According to their accounts, one of the staff members hit Keeble’s car with a baseball bat and broke the window.

Tuchon also told police that  he was knocked to the ground by one of the men, but was not sure by whom as he had been under the influence that night.

After investigation, the North Kingstown Police Department charged both Tuchon and Keeble in the altercation, as well as the three security staff members. According to police, the three employees did not appear to be acting in self defense when they followed the two patrons out of the building.
