Officers were dispatched to the 50 block of West Gay Street just after 1 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 13 for a reported disturbance inside of a bar, West Chester police said in a statement.

Investigators determined that 28-year-old Jacob Robinette of Thorndale had inappropriately touched a woman at the bar, authorities said.

Robinette then assaulted another patron who confronted him about the groping, police believe.

The 28-year-old was arrested at the scene, booked for misdemeanor indecent assault and simple assault, and released on recognizance, West Chester police said.

He's due back in court for a preliminary hearing on Jan. 20, state court records show.
