The alleged assault occurred on July 26 at the Wendy’s in Prescott Valley.

Police told AZ Family the man hit his head and was knocked unconscious as he fell to the ground. The victim was life-flighted to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
Kendrick was arrested and charged with one count of aggravated assault.
Other restaurant patrons described the vicious hit as ‘horrible’ and ‘pretty hard.’
‘That was a pretty hard hit. That was a Mike Tyson hit,’ one witness claimed.
‘The customer didn’t touch him, so he had no right to touch the customer, period, end of story. I just think that’s horrible and wish it didn’t happen. It puts a bad light on our entire society.’

Another customer, who has lived in the community for 20 years, said that type of behavior is not typical for the neighborhood.
‘It’s mellow up here, you don’t have that kind of stuff,’ he said. ‘It’s a shame. I feel for the guy that got hit. It’s not right.’
Wes New, who moved to the area a few years ago, said he wasn’t entirely surprised by the attack despite living in a hospitable and nice neighborhood.
‘First thought is there is a lot of tension all around in society and so I’m not necessarily surprised but surprised in terms of this area. An employee probably should hold back their frustration and take the higher road,’ he said.
‘Unfortunately, we just need to be cautious and just care for each other and be respectful and try to hold back our frustrations and not get this violent.’
