FEBRUARY 26 2012

MILLINGTON, TN A customer and two security guards were stabbed after a fight at a Millington bar early Saturday morning.

 

Shelby County investigators were called to Lorraine’s Lounge at 6553 Navy Road just after 2:00 a.m. Saturday. The victims were stabbed after a fight broke out as the bar was closing.

 

“They hit a customer for no reason, and my guys who got hurt tried to stop it,” said Lorraine’s Lounge owner Curtis Pettigrew.

 

Pettigrew said as his security guards were trying to break up the crowd in the parking lot, a person who had been previously banned from the bar struck another patron in the head.

“It hurts me to know that my people just got hurt for nothing,” said Pettigrew.

 

Anyone with information about the stabbing is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (901) 528-CASH.
