Description
On July 31, 1972, Toler, who was employed by Phoenix Newspapers, Inc., as a journeyman printer and proof press operator, was working the 2:30 p. m. to 11:15 p. m. shift. Between 9:00 and 9:30 p. m. Toler and his coemployees were given a break as part of their normal routine. During this break Toler visited the employees locker room and adjacent lavatory. He became involved in heated discourse with an inebriated coemployee, Dave DeJarnette, who accused him of having stolen a drink from a bottle of liquor that DeJarnette kept in his own locker. Toler denied that he had stolen a drink, and the substance of DeJarnettes accusation was uncorroborated before the hearing officer. The argument momentarily subsided when DeJarnette left the locker room, but it resumed when Toler, about to leave the lavatory, was once again confronted by DeJarnette and his accusations. This time, however, DeJarnette was clutching a printers galley, a steel tray-like instrument weighing about one pound, in a threatening manner. The verbal exchange continued for another few minutes before Toler was eventually struck and injured in an ensuing assault by DeJarnette. A witness to this lavatory encounter left the room long enough to acquire additional help to separate the struggling combatants, but by the time he returned with some other coemployees the fight was over.
