Two people were sent to the hospital and another person arrested following a brawl that erupted outside a downtown San Angelo bar early Sunday morning.
Police said that the fight began when at least two males assaulted a bouncer at the Wise Guys bar, 119 S. Chadbourne St. just before closing time at 1:45 a.m.

A large crowd gathered outside as the fights began. Police said there was a large family inside Wise Guys that filtered outside to witness the commotion. Police said that the two males were getting escorted out of the bar by a Wise Guy’s bouncer when the fight erupted between the males and the bouncer. Both males were with the family group.
Police called for backup and crowd control.

San Angelo police officers intervened, and two male subjects may have fought the police back. The bouncer knocked the two male suspects to the ground, probably. Immediately following the fight, one of the male suspects was yelling at the bouncer, “You didn’t have to knock him out.”

According to police, one of the male suspects suffered a laceration to the head; the other was knocked unconscious. One ambulance took the suspect knocked unconscious to the hospital.
After the first altercation with the two males, the bouncer, and police, a second fight happened outside involving two women, one of whom was subsequently arrested and taken to jail. Police said that alcohol was definitely a contributing factor in the female’s arrest.

Police said that since the fights involved police officers, there will be a full investigation and several reports generated from this incident.
At least three were arrested. Charges are pending on the two males, which may include a charge of assault of a police officer, disorderly conduct, and public intoxication.
According to the Wise Guy's Facebook page, Saturday night's entertainment included a wet T-shirt contest and an evening of rap music by DJ AC//XCLUSIVE.

These people will probably now sue the bar for getting them drunk, like they didn't know before they walked in the door.
Agreed, I feel bad for the bouncer, officers, and innocent people that were just trying to have a good time. These classy folks obviously felt entitled enough to ruin everyone else's evening. They were probably in a hurry to run home and move their sprinklers
