M Nightclub co-owner, bouncer charged with assaulting 2 people

Prosectors have charged Michael Miske Jr., co-owner of M Nightclub, with second-degree assault and criminal property damage in a Dec. 15 incident.

Miske, 39, is also scheduled for trial July 1 on a second-degree assault charge for allegedly assaulting Washington Redskins tackle Trent Williams at the nightclub on Jan. 25, two days before the NFL Pro Bowl.

Miske posted $350,000 bail and will be arraigned in Circuit Court on Dec. 15.

Also charged in the Dec. 15 incident was John Stancil, 25, a bouncer at the Kakaako establishment.

Stancil was arrested on suspicion of second- and third-degree assault Tuesday and was in custody, unable to post $50,000 bail. He will make his initial District Court appearance today.

Miske and Stancil were also arrested after the Jan. 25 incident in which Williams was injured.

In the Dec. 15 incident, police said, Stancil and Miske allegedly assaulted a 40-year-old man at 3:45 a.m., causing substantial bodily injury. When a 41-year-old woman tried to intervene, Stancil allegedly assaulted and injured her.

The criminal property damage charge against Miske is for allegedly causing $1,500 worth of damage to items belonging to the 40-year-old man. Police did not specify what the items were, but said it was not an automobile.

Stancil was to be tried April 23 in Honolulu District Court on two counts of misdemeanor assault committed against Williams and his brother, Fredrick, at the nightclub. However, Trent Williams was a no-show and the trial was rescheduled for July.

Williams suffered a cut on his head requiring multiple stitches, which sidelined the tackle from the Pro Bowl.

Another M Nightclub bouncer, Michael Buntenbah, 40, is scheduled to stand trial in Honolulu District Court in July for misdemeanor assault involving Fredrick Williams during the Jan. 25 fight.
