The woman accused of stabbing two bouncers and biting a third at a Southington restaurant and bar over the weekend appeared in court Monday.
Police arrested Heidi Montes, 24, of Wallingford along with her brother, Adrian Montes, 28, of Springfield, Massachusetts, and Stuart Chase, 32, of Leeds, Massachusetts, after an altercation that led to the violent stabbings.
It happened around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday at 75 Center in Southington. According to court documents, a bouncer was “attempting to escort several parties out of the bar who were having a verbal dispute” which included Heidi and Adrian Montes and Stuart Chase. When they continued “verbal and aggressive behavior” they were told to leave, but didn’t, the incident report states.
That’s when bouncers physically removed them from the establishment, and the situation escalated.
Video taken by a witness shows Chase punching a bouncer, and then the altercation continues outside on the sidewalk.
“Let go of him right now, let go of him,” Heidi Montes can be heard saying in the video.
That’s when she’s accused of using pepper spray and stabbing two bouncers and biting a third.
