Fight Breaks Out At Concord Restaurant, 3 Arrested: Police

CONCORD, CA — Two teen-aged girls were arrested Thursday night after allegedly getting into a fight with each other inside an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant, officials with the Concord Police Department said. When officers responded at 8:31 p.m. to reports of a fight involving several patrons at Golden Corral Buffet & Grill in the 2000 block of Diamond Boulevard, a large crowd was gathered outside of the restaurant, according to police.

Concord police Lt. Sam Staten said officers' preliminary investigation revealed the two young women, ages 19 and 16, were both from Antioch. They knew each other and got into a physical fight inside the restaurant, the lieutenant said.

"The fight ended prior to police arrival," Staten said. "Officers questioned several people including the involved parties. They determined that the fight was due to conflict that had occurred in the past between the two involved females."

Both girls were arrested on suspicion of battery. (One suffered a minor injury but it was not clear which one.)

An 18-year-old man from Pittsburg was also reportedly arrested but for an unrelated incident which police did not elaborate about.

The names of the three people arrested were not disclosed by police.

Staten said video surveillance was not available for officers' review at the time of the incident. An investigation was continuing Friday; anyone with additional information about the incident is asked to call Concord police Detective Sgt. Mark Robison at 925-671-5074.
