The Oct. 30 incident was recorded on video camera. The video showed a small sedan driving up at the rear of the Legion hall, where one of the veterans was smoking a cigarette. Seconds later, a passenger got out and pushed and punched the veteran, with another passenger joining in.
Two veterans inside the hall saw the incident on a live video camera feed, and when they ran out to break up the incident, they also were attacked by at least three people from the car. The entire incident lasted about 90 seconds before the men in the car left.
Sell was charged with one count of felonious assault, two counts of assault, one count of resisting arrest and one count of obstructing official business, according to Akron Municipal Court records.
The warrant for Baratko is for one count of felonious assault and two counts of assault.
Husk was charged with obstructing official business and two counts of assault, according to police. He was booked into the Summit County Jail following his arrest.
Police are asking anyone with information on Baratko's whereabouts to call detectives at 330-375-2490 or 330-375-2TIP; call the Summit County Crime Stoppers at 330-434-COPS; or text TIPSCO with tips to 274637. Callers can remain anonymous.
