Two security guards have been busted and slapped with felony battery charges after a wild, caught-on-camera beatdown of a guy at an Indiana bar — and the footage is brutal.
The distressing video allegedly shows security guards Sean Shell and Johnathon Turner going off on Shane Hendrix … kicking, punching, and dragging him across the floor at Chaser’s Bar & Grill in Evansville — all after he was accused of a confrontation with a bartender over an unpaid tab.
According to authorities, the guards didn’t even try to escort him out first — they went straight into full-on assault mode.

An off-duty Evansville police officer, working for the bar, who had nothing to do with the attack, was actually outside on the street helping someone else at the time — but he says he spotted a visibly bloodied Hendrix outside, made contact with him, and kicked off an investigation into what went down.
The bartender claims Hendrix got aggressive — saying he threatened and lunged at her when she called him out for owing money over booze he bought from her. According to the EPD report, he still owes around $60 for the unpaid drinks.
The officer says he later spoke with the two bouncers — and they were arrested and booked into Vanderburgh County Jail on felony battery charges. Both had court hearings on Monday, and Turner was released on $10K bond. The case is still ongoing. The incident was first reported by WFIE-TV in Evansville.
As for Hendrix, he’s recovering in the hospital — and told authorities he’s dealing with six fractures in his face, a broken nose, bruised back, a missing tooth, and another that’s damaged.
