Two area men have been arrested for using racist slurs and beating up two customers at the Waffle House in Bowling Green. One of the victims reported the attackers said President Donald Trump would deal with immigrants like them.

Bowling Green Police Division has arrested Jacob Dick, 22, North Baltimore, and Zachary Keller, 21, of Custar, for felonious assault and ethnic intimidation. They are being held in the Wood County Justice Center.

Police received a call Sunday, around 3:26 a.m., about an assault at Waffle House, at 1548 E. Wooster St.

. . .

Waffle House employees told police that two men walked into the restaurant, and another table of men began to harass them, calling them racial slurs for Hispanic and black people. Three employees said the two victims – Justin Hartford, 18, of Mount Cory, and Zarrick Ramirez, 18, of Findlay – did nothing to provoke the others.

Ramirez, who goes to Findlay High School, was also getting beaten, he said. By time it was over, “he was drenched in blood,” Hartford said of his friend.

“I’ve never been hated on like that,” Ramirez said.

10. I hope you're not talking about the two guys in the pic in the OP.

The guys in the picture are the victims.

[FiveGoodMen]

11. Wow. Well, I was talking about the perps

But you're right that I thought the pic was of them and not the victims.

I'll read more carefully next time.

(More interesting, they really do look punkish to me in that pic. So, less judging by appearances/impressions, obviously)

This is not the first racist incident involving Dick, who has several tattoos including one of praying hands and a rosary.

Last December, Dick resigned from his job with the Hancock County Engineer after a video surfaced showing Dick and another employee, Owen Stewart, with a blackface doll hanging from a noose. An unidentified male voice reportedly is heard on the video uttering a racial slur in the Twitter footage.

Stewart had been employed at the engineer’s office as highway workers since August, while Dick had been there just a month.

After the video surfaced, Hancock County Engineer Doug Cade said the video was inappropriate and that such behavior did not meet the levels of professionalism, accountability and integrity that the office expected of its employees.
