Police: Woman Assaults Bouncer, Cops Using Football And Wrestling Moves

SOUTH SIDE (KDKA) - A Washington County woman was arrested for allegedly assaulting a club bouncer and Pittsburgh Police officers.

According to police, Danae Blaze, 26, initially tried to cut in line to get into Mario's on the South Side late Saturday night.

The bouncer saw her and told her to go to the back of the line. When she said no, the bouncer realized that she was too drunk to enter the establishment at all.

At that time, Blaze said she wasn't going to leave.
