While conducting a travc stop at 2:17 a.m. in the 100 block of South Main St., a passerby approached police and reported a fight in prog – ress in front of Maverick's Bar (128 N. Main St.) A witness standing outside of Johnnie's directed police to the north, where the suspect ran. Multiple other witness – es directed police to a truck parked on Maple Street, in which the suspect was found with four other individuals.

The suspect from the fight was identified as Devin Ray Staudenmayer, 20, Hutchin- son, Minn. He denied be – ing in a fight and appeared intoxicated. He registered a BAC reading of 0.233.

Another passenger, Aaron Duane Fenske, 19, Water- town, Minn., appeared to be intoxicated as well. He registered a BAC of 0.176. Both men said they had showed bouncers at Maverick's and Johnnie's their real IDs, but were allowed in after slip- ping them a $20 bill. This claim was not substantiated, but the men were intoxicat – ed. After citing both Fenske and Staudenmayer $187 for underage drinking, Fenske threatened to urinate in the street. Ovcers advised him not to, and he and Staudenmayer continued to use profanity throughout the entire contact. The three people in the truck were respectful and kept telling the other two to stop. Because all people in the truck were too intoxicated to drive, ovcers gave them a courtesy ride to Country Inn & Suites where they were staying. When they arrived at the hotel, Fenske immedi ately unzipped his pants and urinated in front of everyone.

Police placed him under arrest and cited him $187 for possess drug paraphernalia (he had marijuana and a dug- out emblazoned with a swas – tika in his pocket) and $124 for urinating in public. He was taken to the station for booking, then released. Tuesday, April 5

During a search of the man, police found nothing, but a scale was confiscated from the man's bag. Test results for the scale yielded nothing.
