The petition also provides a narrative of the events in question.
Passon, identified as the primary aggressor, was the main person punching Gunderson, who was shown sitting on a sofa when he was accused of stealing vaping equipment as well as the anti-anxiety prescription drug Xanax.
Passon reportedly told police Gunderson was high on Xanax, a possible reason why Gunderson was not seen defending himself on a pair of videos.
Aside from battery, Passon — described as the ringleader in the beating — was facing charges of possession of narcotic drugs, disorderly conduct, two counts of felony bail jumping and two counts of misdemeanor bail jumping.
