One man arrested after scuffle outside Norfolk bar

NORFOLK, Neb. -- A late-night scuffle outside a Norfolk bar led to the arrest of a 46-year-old man on Monday.

Just before 11:00 p.m., Norfolk Police was called to the 200 block of Norfolk Avenue after reports of a man acting erratically. 

The male had reportedly been told to leave but returned a short time later. When officers arrived, they found two men "wrestling" on the ground, according to NPD. Officers attempted to handcuff one of the men, but he reportedly resisted and would not cooperate.

After a short struggle, the man was handcuffed and identified as 46-year-old Clayton L. Johnson.

After interviewing witnesses, officers learned that Clayton had been reportedly harassing and threatening patrons of the business. 

Witnesses stated he had struck and assaulted the man that he had been wrestling with when officers arrived. Johnson was arrested for trespassing, disturbing the peace, obstructing a police officer, and third degree assault. He was housed in the Norfolk City Jail and later transferred to the Madison County Jail
