Briefs: Lemon Slice Leads To Fights

Michael Scott/CdA got beat up over a lemon slice. Seems he dropped the slice while he was at the Iron Horse with a friend around 1 in the morning Thursday — and it hit a woman. Whose boyfriend punched Scott in the face because he thought Scott’d thrown it. A bouncer broke up that portion of the fight and kicked the woman and her boyfriend out of the bar. But the fight wasn’t over. Later, outside the bar, Scott had another close encounter with the woman. Who, he said, hit him in the face. He said he pushed her off only to be attacked by another woman and someone else who hit him from behind. Ultimately, a friend from the bar helped him get away. Scott said he didn’t know any of the people involved.
