After the combatants were separated and secured from any other altercations, the officers began investigating the cause of the fight. The officers detected a very strong odor of alcohol on the breaths of the suspects. During the investigation, the officer learned the two suspects had been disruptive inside a local establishment and the manager had told them to leave.
