Bar fight beating lands man in court after victim left with broken nose
Lancaster, PA — A violent early morning assault outside a popular downtown bar has moved forward in court after the accused waived his preliminary hearing.
Connor Adrian Shockley, 25, of Warwick Township, is charged in connection with an attack outside Tellus 360 on East King Street during the early hours of March 29. Authorities allege Shockley repeatedly punched the victim before knocking him to the ground and kicking him in the face.
The victim suffered a concussion and a broken nose, according to police.
Witnesses told investigators the assault occurred shortly before 2 a.m. and described the victim being struck multiple times while on the ground.
Officers responding to the scene reported Shockley appeared intoxicated. During the investigation, police said they recovered five small bags of cocaine valued at about $500, along with additional items associated with drug use.
Shockley faces charges including aggravated assault, possession with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, disorderly conduct, and public drunkenness.
He waived his preliminary hearing April 9, sending the case to county court. Court records show he was released after posting $100,000 bail.
The case remains pending, and all defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
