Police released new details in the Mamma DiSalvo’s disturbance Friday night that prompted 18 officers to respond to the restaurant.

Formal charges were filed Sunday against Justin Anthony Sawitke, who is accused of fighting officers who responded at 7:45 p.m. to the restaurant at 1375 E. Stroop Road when a patron asked staff to call police on her companion.

Sawitke had a video arraignment Monday for felonious assault on a police officer and misdemeanor domestic violence in Kettering Municipal Court.

Judge Frederick W. Dressel set bond at $275,000, and ordered that if Sawitke posts bail he not go on Mamma DiSalvo’s property.

When Sawitke spotted police, he ran through the dining room and knocked into other guests and had to be subdued with a Taser, police said.

Medics and all available officers responded to the Italian restaurant after one officer accidentally activated a “signal 99” call for officer in need of assistance.

Sawitke is next scheduled to appear Friday for a preliminary hearing in Kettering Municipal Court.
