Four people were reportedly assaulted during a late-night disturbance Friday, on South Springhill Street in Bellefontaine, leading to the arrest of three underage individuals on alcohol-related charges and one suspect on multiple assault counts.

According to Bellefontaine Police, officers were dispatched to a residence shortly before midnight for a reported fight.

Dispatch advised officers that the aggressor had been identified as Logan Gammell, 20, of Ada, who had reportedly fled the area on foot before officers arrived.

One of the victims told police Gammell ran northbound on South Springhill Street before heading east, accompanied by two others later identified as Ethan Stone, 18, of Bellefontaine, and Courtney Fehr, 18, of Bellefontaine.

While officers spoke with the victims at the residence, investigators learned Fehr had consumed a large amount of alcohol and had become ill.

When one of the victims attempted to assist her, Gammell allegedly intervened and punched the victim in the face, causing the person to fall backward.

Police said Gammell then assaulted three additional people before fleeing the residence with Stone and Fehr.

According to the report, the trio traveled north on South Springhill Street, east on West Columbus Avenue, and through Harmon Field Park.

Officers located the three near the edge of the park and stopped them for questioning.

Police reported all three showed signs of alcohol consumption, including slurred speech and the odor of alcoholic beverages.

All three admitted to consuming alcohol but refused to provide breath samples, according to the report.

Gammell, Stone, and Fehr were each arrested and charged with underage alcohol consumption.

Gammell was additionally charged with four counts of assault related to the incident.
