Two people were arrested after KPD officers responded to shots fired at the Evape Tavern and Dispensary on North Central Street early Tuesday morning.  

At around 2:40 a.m. on June 3, 2025, officers responded to a shooting at the Evape Tavern and Dispensary on North Central Street. Witnesses reported that 58-year-old Robert Vandergriff repeatedly tried to get the bar staff to serve his girlfriend, 59-year-old Glenda Savage. The bar staff had determined Savage was intoxicated and refused to serve her. The two were then told to leave.

After leaving, Vandergriff and Savage drove back to the bar. Vandergriff parked on Central Street, exited the vehicle and began shooting at the building’s exterior from the street. One person was outside the building. Two people were inside. Fortunately, nobody was struck or injured.

Vandergriff and Savage were quickly identified and, shortly after, both were located and arrested. Vandergriff was charged with three counts of aggravated assault, while Savage was charged with one count of aggravated assault.
