Two brothers suing a former Texas Tech assistant football coach for an alleged January assault also pressed criminal charges against him.

Lubbock police officials said Wednesday the assault case remains under investigation, but have released a police report from the incident.

According to the offense report, Lubbock police opened on Feb. 8, an investigation into a Jan. 29 assault at Logie's on Overton.

The identity of the suspect in the report was redacted. However, a civil lawsuit filed in the 72nd District Court in Lubbock by Armani and Arie Williams accuses Zarnell Fitch of assaulting them at the bar, which is also listed as a defendant in the lawsuit that seeks between $200,000 to $1 million in damages.

According to the police report, Armani Williams told a responding officer that he and his brother were at a bar with a group that included Fitch.

Williams told the officer that Fitch reportedly confronted him after an unidentified woman told Fitch that Williams called him a vulgar name.

Williams said Fitch challenged him to a fight, but didn't believe he was serious.

However, Williams told the officer that Fitch hid behind a foyer then punched him in the neck when he wasn't looking, the report states.

Arie Williams told the officer that he was standing next to his brother when Fitch reportedly attacked.

He told the officer that Fitch also swung at him. He said he dodged Fitch's first punch but Fitch managed to land a blow on his nose and neck.

Arie Williams told the officer he and Fitch began fighting until Logie's staff and other patrons intervened and stopped them.

According to the civil suit, the brother's allege Logie's staff kicked them out of the bar but hid Fitch in a back office.

Armani Williams told the officer that he called police to press charges against Fitch after failing to come to a resolution privately with him.

The officer documented bruises on the brothers that appeared consistent with their statements, the report states.

Arie Williams also provided the officer with a video of the fight taken by a bystander.

Meanwhile, Armani Williams said the owener and manager of the bar declined to provide them with footage from the security cameras on the property.

A Texas Tech athletics spokesman told the Avalanche-Journal on Wednesday, Feb. 4, that Fitch was on a one-year contract that expired on Jan. 31 and was not being renewed. Officials did not elaborate on a reason for not renewing his contract.

Texas Tech later responded to an open-records request from the Avalanche-Journal. The response included an email from Tech deputy athletics director Jonathan Botros to Fitch early on Tuesday, Feb. 3. It read, in part:

"Pursuant to the conversation you and Coach McGuire had yesterday (2/2/2026), Texas Tech has made the decision to go in another direction as it relates to our Defensive Line coaching position. Thus, we are no longer offering an extension to the employment agreement, which expired on 1/31/2026."

Botros told Fitch his employment with Texas Tech would officially end on Feb. 3.
