Stephen Love, 35, has been charged with battery by means of a deadly weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, and carrying a handgun without a license.

South Bend Police were called to the Mega Liquor store on S. Main Street on July 7 regarding an armed disturbance.

A group of men then enter the store and point guns at Love. Then they left the store without incident.

After the men left, Love walked out of the store and pointed his gun at the victim, according to reports.

The victim was standing next to a car with his hands above his head when Love allegedly hit him with the gun in the right side of the face, according to the probable cause affidavit.
