COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Columbia police incident report provides more details about the arrest of the leader of the Columbia Firefighters' Union.

Zachary Privette, 38, was arrested on Monday night. Online records show he was released from jail after posting a $4,500 bond.

The report states officers were called Monday to Trumans Bar and Grill at 9:10 p.m. for a physical altercation. It adds that the victim was a man, born in 1962.

Privette was arrested on suspicion of third-degree assault involving a special victim. No formal charges have been filed as of Wednesday morning.

Columbia Police Department spokesman Colin Imhoff told ABC 17 News the incident was determined to involve a “special victim” because “the victim was considered to be elderly according to Missouri law.”
