A man was shot at the Montana Club after an altercation outside the restaurant at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. According to a social media post from Billings police, an argument started inside the establishment 1791 Majestic Lane with an unruly 35-year-old man. A shooting occurred after the man was escorted outside.
A Billings man has been arrested on suspicion of assault with a weapon after a shooting in the parking lot of the Montana Club last week.
Daniel Wayne Brusard, 35, is also suspected of having violated a protection order, according to a statement issued Tuesday from Billings Police Lt. Matt Lennick. Hid arrest Tuesday followed a week in which BPD opened investigations into armed robberies, school threats and a homicide.
BPD officers, along with Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office and American Medical Response personnel, responded to the Montana Club on Majestic Lane on Nov. 30. Brusard, who was allegedly eating at the restaurant, was arguing with customers.
Brusard was brought outside where, according to a previous statement from BPD, he allegedly traded gunfire with another man. Brusard entered Yellowstone County Detention Facility on Tuesday, and the investigation into the shooting is ongoing. As of Tuesday afternoon, Yellowstone County prosecutors had not filed charges against Brusard.
