According to the criminal complaint, it was late Saturday night when the employee, who works as a barback, was going from one bar to another and bumped into Peiffer. The two then began arguing.
At that point, court documents say Peiffer grabbed an empty beer bottle and broke it over the head of the barback, cutting his forehead.
Employees pinned Peiffer to the ground until an off-duty police officer working detail at the bar cuffed him.
He was then taken into custody.
Peiffer will be in court on April 18 for his preliminary hearing.
