Two Des Moines men was arrested on Dallas County warrants Wednesday in connection with a February incident in which they allegedly “curb stomped” two men outside a West Des Moines nightclub.

Lathan Shawn Trigg, 18, of 2420 E. 16th St., Des Moines, was charged with willful injury causing serious injury and assault causing bodily injury or mental illness.
Their arrests follow the March 21 arrest of Daniel Lee Trigg, 45, of 2420 E. 16th St., Des Moines, who was also charged with willful injury causing serious injury and assault causing bodily injury or mental illness in connection with the same incident.
The alleged willful injuries and assaults all occurred about 11 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 17 at a nightclub in the 7200 block of Vista Drive in West Des Moines, where officers of the West Des Moines Police Department responded to a report of a bar fight.
Investigation revealed that the Triggs allegedly “dragged” each of the victims out of the bar and “repeatedly ‘curb stomped’ the victim against the head,” according to court records.
One of the victims “sustained a golf-ball-sized lump on his forehead from the assault,” and the other victim “was later diagnosed having multiple brain bleeds (SAH, SDH and frontal) and a skull fracture,” according to court records. Both victims were transported by West Des Moines EMS.
Logan Trigg was held in the Dallas County Jail on a $12,000 cash or surety bond. He is scheduled for arraignment May 12 in Dallas County District Court.
Logan Trigg was arrested in January on a Polk County warrant on charges of willful injury causing serious injury and assault while participating in a felony in connection with an October 2022 incident at Adventureland in Altoona, where he allegedly started a fight in which he “slammed the victim’s head into a fence” and “continued to punch and strike the victim several times” after the victim was on the ground, according to court records. The victim sustained “a chipped tooth, fractured nose, facial laceration, swelling of the face and a concussion which resulted in the victim not being able to drive for several weeks” as a result of the alleged attack by Trigg. The case is pending in Polk County District Court.
