If you ever get into a fight at a wedding at the Ritz Carlton in Naples, Fla., don't worry -- Kevin Connolly has your back.
E from "Entourage" was on hand when a post-wedding melee broke out last Sunday. According to a heavily-redacted police report, cops responded to the scene and found several people bloodied, broken bottles throughout the area, tables flipped over and "the staff was in dire need of assistance."
We're told the 50-person fight was triggered when a female guest was hit on by a dude. The woman's husband got pissed and fists began to fly. According to the police report, "each subject interviewed was heavily intoxicated, making obtaining a written sworn statement difficult."
We're told Connolly, who's a high school friend of the groom, stepped in and broke up several of the fights.
No arrests were made and no charges have been filed.

WHEE! Sounds like the wedding of the century...nobody will EVER forget it! ROFL!
Ryan Seacrest and Kristy Lee Cook:
Its nice to see TMZ printing stories about Kevin Connolly break up fights rather than causing them! You finally got it right! This genuinely nice guy was just trying to make the peace down in FLA!
Gosh, I live right down the street from the RC in Naples, didn't hear a thing and nothing was mentioned in the local newspaper. Wonder why?
this sawed off lil douche should've gotten his ass kicked a long time ago.
Funny, I live a block away and saw some of the pictures of the aftermath -- looked like a scene out of Entourage.
"According to a heavily redacted police report,"
What does "redacted" mean? Is that a misprint?
Redacted means portions of the report were withheld, or blacked out.
In this case, the redacted portion would appear to be the names of the victims and suspects...both of which are public record under Florida law, unless the investigation is still ongoing. If it is ongoing -- meaning the Collier County Sheriff's Office expects, in good faith, to make arrests in this case -- then the names of the suspects can be redacted. The victims' names are still public record, however.
While none of us care about these names, it is not up to the Sheriff's Office to decide whether we should see them or not. It's a violation of the state public record laws and is, unfortunately, a common practice in rural Florida counties.
I was working at the Rtiz during this melee. I believe the drunk attacker actually got the wrong guy. After all was said and done and everybody was interviewed, it was obvious that the bride's side was way victorious. Obviously the attacker didn't know what he was in for when he staggered over and started this mess. Kevin Connelly was awesome!
Okay, peggy O.... just so you know... I was there... and actually this story is ALL wrong. Kevin Connolly DID fight, NOT break it up, and he was a complete jerk all night.... PLUS he was one of the first to run away when it got out of hand!!! I will NEVER AGAIN watch entourage and support such a jerk.
