~ Three persons arrested ~
MAHO--Police responded to a group fight in a nightclub in the Maho area in which a police officer was involved.
A reliable source reported that the officer in question had entered the night club near closing time, approximately 4:00am Thursday. Off duty, he was at the establishment to enjoy the night. While there, he approached a young lady who, unknown to him, was in the night club with her boyfriend, and attempted to be social.
Noting the situation, the boyfriend confronted the officer and a fight ensued. The altercation quickly grew into a 20-man group fight. Seeing the situation growing out of control, the officer then fired several warning shots inside the club. This created panic and police were called to the scene.
Three persons were arrested when police arrived, but the officer who was reportedly the cause of the fight was not among them.
Contacted Thursday afternoon, nightclub management was unable to answer questions about the incident.
Police also were questioned about the incident, but declined to comment or confirm details. However, they said an internal investigation was in process. They said the other party involved had filed an official complaint saying the off-duty policeman and the other officers had acted inappropriately in the situation.
No damage to the building or club-goers was reported. It was not confirmed whether the three arrestees had since been released. Police and club management expect to meet today, Friday.
