A Moundridge man was arrested early Saturday morning after an alleged incident at a local bar.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said Monday that deputies were called to Outlaws, 1676 W. State Street, at 1:10 a.m. Saturday for the report of a fight inside the establishment. When the first deputy arrived, he was directed to the back of the bar, where he found an upset Tayler Smyth, 26, of Moundridge, Soldan said. Smyth had multiple cuts to his face and bruising on his left eye and nose, Soldan added.

When the deputy tried to calm down Smyth, Smyth pushed the deputy and they both ended up on the floor, Soldan said.

Smyth was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct and battery of a law enforcement officer, Soldan said.

Smyth was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center before being booked into the Saline County Jail, Soldan said.

The case remains under investigation as deputies are pursuing a lead on another person who was allegedly involved in the incident, he said.
