CLEVELAND, Ohio — A man accused of shooting a fellow bar patron because he supported Donald Trump for president turned himself in to police on Friday.

Darnell Hall, 45, is charged with felonious assault. His bond was set at $15,000 Saturday during his initial appearance in Cleveland Municipal Court.

The shooting happened about 5 p.m. July 25 at Winston's Bar on East 131st Street and Miles Avenue.

Defense attorney Harvey Bruner said during the hearing that Hall and a 60-year-old man got into an argument because the other man was saying that Donald Trump would be a good president.

Hall disagreed and a fight ensued.

Cleveland police said the men met on the bar's back patio.

The men, who are both regulars at the bar, started talking about the presidential election, with the 60-year-old man saying he preferred Donald Trump.

The bar's owner jumped in to separate them, and brought the 60 year old into the bar. Hall walked around the outside of the building and through the front door, police said.
