Senator's daughter claims self-defense after punching teen in face during restaurant fight

LEXINGTON, SC (WIS) – A surveillance video from inside a Lexington restaurant from earlier this year shows Lexington County state Sen. Jake Knotts' grandson assaulting another boy before the senator's daughter, who told police she was defending herself, punches the victim in the face.


The 31-second fight happened on February 1 inside the Wild Hare, a restaurant/bar on Augusta Highway in Lexington. The video shows the 16-year-old victim and his friend walk into the restaurant, then Knotts' grandson gets out of a booth and starts punching the victim in the face.


According to police, the boys involved in the fight were at odds in school earlier that day. "They had contact with the SRO," said Lexington Police Lieutenant Matt Davis. "The SRO counseled them and they were sent on their way."
