SOUTH BEND — A 63-year-old security guard died late Saturday evening from severe trauma to the head after a patron at the South Bank Lounge attacked him early Saturday, police said.

James E. Muddiman Sr. was trying to get people to leave the bar at 3 a.m. when 27-year-old Joshua Kati assaulted him, police said.

"When I was in the parking lot I was sitting there, everybody started yelling, screaming, a bunch of people started running around and it was chaotic,” explained Bill Townsend, who was outside the South Bank Lounge when the attack occurred. “I couldn't believe something like that happened when I found out later on what it really was.”

Muddiman was treated at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center, where he later died.

Kati, a South Bend resident, was initially arrested on suspicion of aggravated battery and battery resulting in serious bodily injury. Those charges were upgraded on Monday.

The incident took place in the 1700 block of Lincoln Way East.

When I first read the story, I could just imagine what the situation was. Then I read the reports, and turns out I was exactly right. This guy hit a bouncer to be tough in front of his girl. Sounds like a class act. House arrest? Cocaine charges? Skipping school? Physical abuse to his mother? It is truly sad that someone like this is has children. It's also sad that people are defending his character...mostly younger girls who cannot provide a credible character reference.

I know both Jim and Josh. Jim was a kind hearted man that loved kids. Josh was a great friend and loved his kids. What happened is unfortunate and I feel for both families involved. I feel Jim was doing his job to break up a fight and Josh hit him in the mix of it all. All these horrible comments just need to stop. Neither of these men are horrible. Both families will now have to live without these special men. Stop trying to place blame on everyone and allow a trial to proceed.

Despite what the world may think is kool, is really not. It is a injustice not to stand up for justice' Martin Luther King said that and if we look at our society, our children our exposed to a generation that glorifies sex, money, women, clothes, rims, etc.. but is that what life is really about. What kind of role models are they? It shows that not everything that shines is good for you.. To Joshs sister. your brother is a good guy and tell your family to keep their head up. 574-360-9878

To those hating on Josh, check this, its a shame that you tolerate drug dealers, thieves, killers, rapists and other criminals, but if someone does his duty and tells the police of these people he is labeled a snitch. Thats backwards and shows the character of a persons heart, and can go as far as to say you are a coward for not correcting your fellow brother or sister. I guarantee that if someone is in my hood and doing those things I'll say something. I don't want my kids around that.

MY BROTHER IS A GREAT MAN AND GREAT FATHER. THE STORIES OF THE WITNESS KEEP CHANGE AND THE STORIES THE POLICE GIVE KEEP CHANGING. THE PAST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS CASE AND HE HAS CHANGED NOW, HE IS A GOOD PERSON AND THE WAY EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT HIM IS SAD. YOU PEOPLE SHOULD BE ASSUMED OF THE WAY YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A MAN THAT YOU DONT EVEN KNOW. I KNOW HIM BETTER THAN ANYONE AND IF MY BROTHER SAYS HE DIDNT DO IT THAN HE DIDNT. HE HAS ALWAY CAME FOWARD IN EVERYTHING HE HAS DONE BEFORE.

i thank that josh should get whats coming to him. its b.s. that he did this and i have been going to this bar for 5 years and nobody has acted like that before. yes there has been alot of fights there but nothing like that. all bars have there fights no matter where you go. so its not the bar its the people drinking at the bar. that man should still be enjoying his life and his new grandbaby. alot of people drink and dont act like that. so dont try and blame the alcohol.

Monday, May 19 at 10:06 PM Bar Patron wrote ...

Why in the world did they have an old guy working security in a bar when people are drinking and tempers rise? Don't you think someone younger and more able to handle themselves in a fight should have been working security? I think the bar owner should be behind bars also for hiring someone so old! It was only one punch people, it's not like he got beat down.

Monday, May 19 at 9:18 PM Bill wrote ...

Well, bar patron, if you had acted like Kati you would be sitting in the cell right next to him. Sadly, Kati made a bad decision. I also wonder why he was at a bar if on house arrest. I think the house arrest program needs to be looked into to see where they may have failed as wel. It still will come to the fact Kati made the mistake and will pay the price.

Monday, May 19 at 8:42 PM Bar Patron wrote ...

I thought Muddiman was out of line and it was ONLY ONE PUNCH. If I would have been in Kati's shoes I would have punched him also, just like most of you would have. Let Kati go!

Monday, May 19 at 5:55 PM anon wrote ...

To charge this man with murder would be an outrage. The defination of murder requires an intent to kill. This is not the case. Only the prosecutor can make that determination with the evidence he has. My question is how many sober people were there at South Bank at 3:30am?

Monday, May 19 at 4:40 PM Linda wrote ...

Innocent: If good intentions paid this countrys debt, there wouldn't be any debt. Lots of people drink and get drunk as well and would never even think of doing what he did. I am sure his attitude issues have cropped up many times before. Drunk is not an excuse. He KILLED someone and needs to be permanently removed from society. I feel no pity for him. HE IS A MURDERER and a menace to society. What is wrong with a 63 year old man working a bar? Are you blaming him? Josh is the ABUSER HERE!

Monday, May 19 at 4:30 PM So easy for all of you to judge wrote ...

South Bank Lounge is known for its fighting and drug addicted owner so it is no surprise that a fight would happen there! All of you so easy to judge could have easiely hit someone and have this very unfortunate accident happen to you but is everyone really asking the right question? Did josh hit him with the intention to kill him...No and did that punch cause the mans death? Everyone likes to look at things in black and white until its them sitting in the hot seat so really who are we to judge?

Monday, May 19 at 4:30 PM Deanna De Baets wrote ...

Jim Muddiman was an amazing man and loved his family very much. Doesn't matter his age, that was his company that he ran and what, just cause he's a certain age he shouldn't be there working, whatever....KATI WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON HOUSE ARREST!! WHY WAS HE EVEN AT THE BAR! He's the one at complete fault here and he WILL get what's coming to him, you can count on it. I hope he likes prison life, cause that's where he's gonna be for a while. I hope he rots in hell for what he did to my family

Monday, May 19 at 4:23 PM AG wrote ...

Save your biased opinions until after his trial. These articles have been catering to this trash-talking guard like he's some kind of saint. If you want to call Josh a cold blooded killer, you better learn the facts. That bouncer was a real "tough guy" until he got 1-punched. If he would have survived, this probably wouldn't even be a story. I'm not saying what happened was justified, but unless you know Josh and how well he's cleaned up his act, don't even sit here and try to judge the man.

Monday, May 19 at 4:21 PM Bill wrote ...

Oat Bran, punching someone is NOT and ACCIDENT, it is battery. Unfortunately, this battery resulted in the death of another. Why can't a 63 year old man work a legal job if he chooses to? Josh will have to pay the price for his stupid actions.

Monday, May 19 at 4:08 PM Erin wrote ...

My first throughts were along the same lines as the Anonymous writer (12:48 AM). What was he doing working that job in that area in the first place?

Monday, May 19 at 4:04 PM another anon. wrote ...

It is too bad that more facts are not let out when a story is. It would help in avoiding negativity. To the high school student..I do hope you learn more about life and reality before you graduate. I hope no one in your family has to work late hours,be close to retirement age, been denied disability, even though they should have it and be told they can work as a security guard or in a gas station(many are victims of robberies).Drinking, in most cases causes more harm than fun in todays society.

Monday, May 19 at 3:53 PM bad situation wrote ...

i knew josh back from middle school as well and no matter what type of person he was or is, he DID commit a crime! i get so tired of people saying that they are "not that type of person who would do such a thing"! well apparently he did. how would you people feel if it was your father who died? he should get charged with what is appropriate and pay for his consequences no matter what kind of father he is.

Monday, May 19 at 3:53 PM Innocent wrote ...

Granted the situation is very serious, but what is a 63-year-old man doing working security at a bar, especially South Bank Lounge? My condolences to the family, but he really should've never been in this environment. Josh is a good man and made a bad decision. As every good person, he will accept responsibility for his actions, but (like every person that has been in such an altercation) did not have intentions to take a life.

Monday, May 19 at 3:47 PM April wrote ...

I think Concerned is correct, Josh is a product of his enviroment. Anyone who knows Josh and the family he came from well enough, knows the trouble this kid has had from birth. He can be sweet and he is very sensitive. He should have a fair trial like anyone else. I just cannot believe that he intended to kill anyone. He has made mistakes, so have I, but I never thought his life would come to this. Again, not justifying, just trying to share some understanding.

Monday, May 19 at 3:40 PM April wrote ...

To no one specific: You say Josh always skipped, was into illegal things and wasn't a good guy. That sounds like alot of the people I know from the Riley class of 1999! In this case you presume his lack of education has something to do with this incident. I went to the same school, likely skipped the same days and did the same drugs as Josh. I have a career, nice home, loving family, and I pay taxes. Based on your logic I should be a murderer because I was a less than steller student?

Monday, May 19 at 3:31 PM Oat*Bran wrote ...

I agree with you "PM Irritated". People act like accidents don't ever happen. Anyone can wake up at home and go to bed in jail. Things happen. You take whatever it is and roll with it. You people are stupied for bashing Josh or anyone else on here that says or does something that you dont' agree with. What would you be saying or doing if this was your son, or daughter. Get a clue people! The world isn't perfect. People make mistakes and I'm sure this is one....

I say they need to bring back hanging, if he has previosly been in trouble with the law someone has not been doing their jobs. These slaps on the hands are sending the message WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT CAUSE WE'LL GET AWAY WITH IT WE ALWAYS DO. Our jails are over crowded, streets are unsafe, kids are killing kids and there is absolutly no repect out of kids 25 and younger. HOW MANY MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE before they stop these ungrateful disrespectful so call human beings!WASTE OF OXYGEN!

Monday, May 19 at 3:07 PM Anon wrote ...

Sorry, irritated, but Josh made the decision to do what he did and the end result was a dead man. Nope, I never made that kind of mistake in my life.

Monday, May 19 at 2:45 PM Irritated wrote ...

Oh would you all just stop? I knew Josh too, and he might not be a stand up roll model, but he was extremely proud of his children. I was not there, but I know he did not just go up to this man and hit him for no reason. He had to have been provoked. You all need to stop acting like you are perfect, go on with your lives and stop bringing up trash from years ago that does not need to be talked about. Also, just because this man was 65 doesn't make him a saint...I know plenty grumpy old men.

Condolences to the families of both the victim and the perpetrator. It is a shame this happened. Mr. Kati should have to pay the consequences for his actions. Drinking is NO EXCUSE - he obviously has serious problems.

Monday, May 19 at 2:09 PM concerned wrote ...

Josh let a situation get very seriously out of hand. He should never have assaulted someone but do you people really think he intended to kill this man, of course not. If anything he will be charged with manslaughter, not murder. This was NOT a premeditated case, let's be real. I've known Josh for a long time and he is a really good guy. Yes he's made some bad choices but who are we to judge. People are sometimes a product of their environment, and are unable to see beyond that.

Monday, May 19 at 1:20 PM No one specific wrote ...

I went to school with Josh also, he always skipped and was never really a good guy, he was always involved with illegal things and he has made bad decisions his whole life. He has always been very violent and I vote that he is tried for Murder. Josh just never made good decisions, he never took the time to learn in school and that would have been his ONLY way to a better future, thru education.

Monday, May 19 at 1:06 PM anon wrote ...

Not all things are black and white. Good people do bad things. And sometimes a little mercy is called for. Knowing the person who commits the crime, the person they have always been, prior actions..all these should be considered before we attack.

I knew Josh as a child in our neighborhood. He was treated terrible by his father and grandfather..his mother finally got him away from them and with a good man who became his dad, what he did was wrong but the bar should also pay it is a crime to keep serving someone drunk and South Bank does it all the time. Yes Josh should pay for his actions but lets show some compassion here I bet all you people calling for death are the Jesus crowd who never offers help when people are young:WWJD?

Monday, May 19 at 12:49 PM High School Student wrote ...

No one is asking for sympathy on John Kati. He murdered no one. Stuff happens. You were not there, you do not know the circumstances. You act as though he deliberately killed the guy. People drink. No one is a saint. I'm sure you all have done things you regret. Should we murder you? I believe Ghandi said "an eye for an eye makes the world blind." He made a choice, and he will have to suffer the consequences. To demand that he murdered is outrageous. Retaliation? That's not how a society works.

Monday, May 19 at 12:30 PM Don wrote ...

I hope that this low life blends well in prison life. To the guy that went to school with this Kati. What do you mean he made a mistake? He killed a person. You think that is just a "mistake" and he should get off becsuae he had a couple kids? Maybe he should have been at home with his kids instead of out getting drunk. I bet Mr. Muddiman had children also and maybe grandkids. Kati should pay highly for what he did.

Monday, May 19 at 12:26 PM Nunya wrote ...

Wasnt this guy supposed to be on house arrest already? He was charged with multiple counts of selling cocaine to an undercover police officer less than a year ago. I went to high school with josh and he is not a bad guy. But Just because your a good guy doesnt mean you get a pass when you act like an idiot. I hear all these people mentioning his kids like he is this great father. Well, if he would have been at home with his kids where he belongs then none of this would have ever happened.

I can say I don't drink much and not to excess. I can also say I have NEVER killed anyone while drunk. Quit using intoxication as an excuse.

I dated him in high school although he actually was a good boyfriend, we broke up because he had a bad temper. He had beat his mom up on several occasions!! He went to boys school. While I am not sticking up for him, I never his temper would result in something like this. An innocent life lost...I feel in my heart he didn't mean to kill this man. His temper got the best of him. Now he will have to suffer the consequences. My heart goes out to Joshes children and the family of the victim.

I went to high school with Joshua Kati, and I know deep down he probably wishes he could take back his actions--but he can't. I agree that what he did WAS wrong-but to say that he should fry isn't the answer. Can anyone say without a doubt that they act like angles when they are drinking? It is truly an unfortunate situation. I believe that he should do time for his actions--but he didn't go there intentionally looking to kill a man. My condolences to all families involved.

Josh Kati has been a drain on our society for years now. This kid was previsouly arrested for drug charges I believe and had only really been punished with house arrest. He does have children, but do they really need a father like this out on the streets teaching them nothing but disrespect to others. He has used our tax dollars before and will use them here again. This is definatly a sad day.

Monday, May 19 at 9:59 AM noneya66 wrote ...

As for a reply to "Anonymous" if you had read the artical fully it stated that Jim worked for Infinitey Investigations a security company. By which he also owned. Further more it is against the law to deny employment because of someones age. His age just makes this guy Josh look even worse. What a big man to beat up an older person doing their job. I hope he sits on death row and then frys for his actions!!!

Monday, May 19 at 9:53 AM noneya66 wrote ...

I knew Mr. Muddiman because he was a security guard at the bar I work at. He once told me that he would rather "talk a person down" rather than use any type of other force. This was absolutely unneccassary. I hope that this guy goes to prison for the rest of his life because now his family is going to be living a life sentence also. My prayers go out to Jim's family and friends and may he rest in peace with his fave drink... a diet coke....

One also has to question why they sent an older person to do security at a bar. Why not send someone a little bit younger? I realize everyone has to work longer into life, however I don't think they should have sent someone to work there for the time-frame as well as his age. How bout it security company?

Elkhart..They will charge him appropriately when the charging affidavit comes down. The charges listed are only preliminary and the security guard was still alive when Kati was arrested. They (the charges) will be amended when Kati is formally charged within the next day or so.

People will get wind of who this young mixed up man was. He needs punished by law for sure. My nephew was a bar bouncer for years. My nephew is a big big man and young drunks were nothing but hard to control. What a tragedy to take someones life! Take over Matlock.

It is an outrage when any person is killed just for doing their job. Here is a 63 year old man who probably HAD TO WORK instead of enjoying retirement. How about raising the legal age for drinking to 30? Maybe even older...remember a certain news anchor person?

To ELKHART, they charged him with 'aggravated battery and battery resulting in serious bodily injury" BEFORE the man died..now that he has passed, the 27 year old will most likely be charged with a more serious charge..like murder.

Jeff, its deffense, not offense. Seriously fella, whats the difference. Have some respect fot the victim and don't leave an iganorant comment. I live really close to there, I heard the sirens enroute. Its sad that in this area when I hear such a commotion, it usually leads to a story like this. My street tells a sad, sad story of a fallen officer. STOP THE VIOLENCE My condoleces to the victims family. Hopefully the facts get sorted out and both the victim and the perp get thier due justice.
