allegedly struck the employee “after becoming disgruntled that his nachos came out to the table last,” according to documents filed in Lewis County Superior Court and information from the Centralia Police Department.

The victim sustained a facial fracture from the strike, according to court documents.
Centralia officers were dispatched at approximately 9:45 p.m., but the man left the scene with a woman and a child before officers arrived.
Jordan had his first preliminary hearing on Thursday.
Jordan has a pro MMA record of 2-3. In his last pro fight in 2020, Jordan was submitted by way of rear-naked choke in the first round.
