After Threats, Hairdresser Arrested In Chicago Bar
The Evanston man was wanted on a domestic violence warrant when he allegedly kicked a bar patron in the chest.

EVANSTON, IL — Despite a prediction that the next article written about him would be headlined, "Hairdresser beats the [expletive] out of a [expletive] journalist," an Evanston man who had a warrant related to a domestic violence charge was arrested early Sunday and charged with a fresh count of battery after an incident at a Chicago bar.
Senan Parganlija, 25, of the 800 block of Seward Street, was arrested shortly after 2 a.m. at the Piccolo Lounge in the West Ridge neighborhood, according to an arrest report. He told Patch last week he worked as a hairdresser in Wilmette despite an active arrest warrant, although the arrest report lists his occupation as "unemployed."
According to the Chicago police report, a 24-year-old bar patron told police Parganlija started an argument with him "for no reason."
