Three suspects are in custody after a huge fight broke out at in the in the early hours of Friday morning, that ended with a security guard being pushed down and punched.
At approximately 12:52 a.m. early Friday morning, Milpitas Police responded to a report of a fight taking place at Dave and Buster's. Reportedly, a fight between 10-15 people had broken out inside the business. Security guards had broken up the fight, and were attempting to escort those involved outside.
Once outside, a suspect identified as Adrian Christian de Guzman Jacob, a 22-year-old San Jose resident, reportedly pushed a 42-year-old security guard and then punched him in the face.
At that time, Milpitas Police said another suspect, identified as Marko Severo, a 23-year-old San Jose resident, then approached the same security guard, punched him in the face, and then ran away. Other security guards chased Severo into the parking lot, subdued him, and handcuffed him.
A third suspect, Arthur Caesar Corpuz Pagaduan Jr., a 31-year-old San Jose resident, kicked the same security guard in the head.
All three suspects were taken into custody by Milpitas Police when they arrived at the scene.
Pagaduan was arrested and charged with felony assault, and booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail. The other two suspects, Severo and Jacob, were cited for misdemeanor assault and battery and were released at the scene.

security personnel. In-House employees are much more competent and reliable than contract services. Great Mall initially had their own security staff; however, the Chief of Security was a former Milpitas Police Department Chief. The way he conducted the mall's policies apparently did not work in his favor; thus, receiving complaints from the patrons and suspects. Please send your grievances to the mall management in regards to your disatisfaction with their security services. The Security Director usually hires non-experience personnel. This is like a "training program". I do monitor MPD / MFD, Mall Security with a scanner. We all know there is too much incidents in the area; especially when D&B began operations. Most of the time, victims will notify police, and not security. If warranted, MPD will have dispatch contact private security. In this latest incident, mall officers were not aware of the D&B disturbance. A security officer happened to see police and fire entering entrance 5A {location of security office and police sub-station}. Assuming that the security office does not have a scanner to monitor police/fire transmissions. Very incompetent safety issues. Oh well !!
