Four men acquitted in 2024 brawl at Mount Greenwood restaurant

CHICAGO (WGN) — Four men were acquitted Wednesday in connection with an alleged assault and brawl at a Mount Greenwood restaurant last year.

Cook County Circuit Court Judge Ursula Walowski rendered her ruling Wednesday, finding Andrew Fedyk of La Grange Park, Harry Kenny of Glen Ellyn, Frank Paris of River Forest, and John Powers IV of Oak Park not guilty.

The four men were charged last year with aggravated battery/public place, aggravated battery/great bodily harm and aggravated battery/victim 60+. Fedyk, Powers and Paris also faced felony charges.

Prosecutors had said the men became violent after being asked to leave Barraco’s Ristorante in the 3000 block of West 111th Street, in the Mount Greenwood neighborhood, after allegedly acting drunk and urinating on the bathroom floor.

Defense attorneys argued the bar’s bouncers were the aggressors.
