A Glendale man was sentenced to 11 years in state prison for smashing a fellow patron in the head with a beer mug in the men’s restroom of a Covina sports bar, leaving him unconscious, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday.

Vidal Larios Jr., 42, was sentenced immediately after entering a no contest plea Tuesday to one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon — a glass mug — and admitted causing great bodily injury to the victim during the Aug. 17, 2018, attack.

Larios armed himself with the mug, followed the man into the bathroom and attacked him because he thought the man had checked out his girlfriend, according to Deputy District Attorney Judith M. Donovan.

Covina police Sgt. Ray Marquez said shortly after the attack that the victim, whose name was withheld, “sustained a major head injury from the assault.”
