Rough justice follows bar fight, police say

By David Richie - drichie@sacbee.com

CITRUS HEIGHTS - A Folsom man who allegedly tried to run over another patron during a fight outside a bar suffered some rough western justice early Monday. Then the police showed up and took him to jail.

According to authorities, several Citrus Heights police units were called to On The Rocks, 6095 San Juan Ave., just south of Greenback Lane, about 2:30 a.m. They found Adan Castaneda Quintana, 25, face down, with multiple cuts and bruises, in the parking lot near his 1994 Mustang. The windshield was smashed.

Another patron was inside the bar with what appeared to be a broken leg, police said. Officers were told that Quintana had become involved in a fight and at one point he jumped into his Mustang, revved up and struck the other man. Other patrons evidently attacked Quintana when he got out, or was pulled out, of his vehicle. Castaneda was taken to a local hospital for treatment on his way to jail.

He remains in Sacramento County Main Jail, facing felony charges of suspicion of drunken driving with injury and suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
