Staff Students assault officers at Brick Street At around 1 a.m. Saturday, a male and female officer in plain clothes were conducting a bar check at Brick Street Bar when the female officer approached an apparently underage male, later identified as Miami University first-year Michael Huebner, 18, holding a cup of beer. The female officer reportedly identified herself and asked Huebner to provide his ID. Huebner reportedly told her he did not have any ID on him as she handed the beer to the other officer. Huebner reportedly told the officer he was 21, but when she said it did not appear true he admitted he was 18. The officer reportedly told Huebner he was under arrest. As she attempted to place handcuffs on him, he reportedly pulled away and ran toward the front door of the bar. The female officer reportedly grabbed Huebner's shirt, but it ripped when he continued to pull away. She reportedly fell to the ground, injuring her head and her knee. Another male in the bar reportedly dumped a cup of beer on her back also. The male officer reportedly took Huebner to the ground as a crowd gathered around them. The officer reportedly continued to identify himself as an unkown male reportedly punched him in the face and ran away, causing an injury to his eye. The male officer was reportedly assaulted several times by members of the crowd while he was on the ground. One male was reportedly on top of the officer trying to pull him off Huebner.
