Further investigation by Detective Michael Legg and Raheem Carter revealed that Beerman was an active participant in the altercation and had brandished a piece of firewood during the incident.

It was determined the altercation stemmed from Beerman confronting Shahin about Shahin eating food inside the store, as well as not wearing a mask inside the store.

Beerman charges were placed on a criminal summons pending a future court date.
