The suspect in an assault case at an East Lansing McDonald’s in late April 2015 has failed to show up for court and now has a warrant out for his arrest, East Lansing police Lt. Steve Gonzalez said.

The assault took place around 3 a.m. on April 23 in the McDonald’s at 1024 E. Grand River Ave.

Advertising sophomore and former State News intern Kevin Lange, who recorded the punch, said in a prior interview with The State News that shortly after the student came “stumbling” into the fast food restaurant he spit on the counter, for reasons unknown to Lange.

This caused a scuffle to break out between the student and the employees, Lange said, eventually ending with the employee in the blue punching and dropping the student to the floor.

The suspect was previously issued aggravated assault charges in mid-July but has yet to be arraigned.
