As Scribner began to argue with the unnamed woman, he allegedly grabbed her hair and tried to push her into his car. As patrons came to the woman’s aid and separated her from Scribner, he threw a knife at his girlfriend which stuck her in the leg, the State-Journal Register reports.
The patrons proceeded to escort the woman inside the Sonic and kept Scribner outside as they waited for authorities.
Scribner was soon arrested upon police arrival for unlawful use of a weapon, aggravated battery, domestic battery, unlawful restraint and aggravated assault, according to Fox Illinois.
