Western Wrangle
At 10:53 a.m. Tuesday, a male filed a report that he had been assaulted at Brick Street bar, 36 E High St., on Saturday night. The male informed an officer that he had been dancing on the dance floor with an unknown female when another male approached him and reportedly said "what the f*** bro." The victim was then surrounded by three more males who began punching him repeatedly. The male believes that the other males assaulted him because the female was one of their girlfriends. The males were wearing western themed clothing, and continued punching the male until a bouncer broke up the fight and brought the male outside to give him ice. The male went to McCullough-Hyde Hospital to have his injuries inspected and was found to have a broken eye socket. The investigation is still ongoing.

The officer located a fictitious over 21 Connecticut driver's license and a real under 21 Ohio driver's license in the female's purse that had the same name and photo on them.
