WISCONSIN DELLS, Wis. (WFRV) – Three people from out of state were arrested in the Wisconsin Dells after allegedly assaulting police officers and not leaving an establishment.

According to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, on May 21 around 1:30 a.m., officers on foot patrol in downtown Wisconsin Dells were asked by employees of Tug’s Kitchen to remove confrontational patrons. It was reported one of the patrons had allegedly tried to climb the bar to assault a bartender.

After reportedly trying to get the people to leave the bar on their own terms, the officers then tried to remove them. Authorities say the group became resistive and assaultive towards the officers.

A Wisconsin Dells Police Officer and a Columbia County Deputy were allegedly ‘battered’ by the individuals. Immediate assistance from any available police units was requested.

Multiple agencies then responded to the scene, and the incident resulted in the arrest of the following people:
