Placeholder Image


The Barton County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a “big fight” with “lots of blood” in a shed outside a rural residence at 2:04 a.m. Tuesday. The reporting party, who refused to give a name, estimated more than 50 people were involved.
Officers arrived but no fighting was going on. They learned several people had been involved, but had left the house. Three suspects from the fight, ranging in age from 18-23, were identified. A case was taken, but no one wanted to press charges.
It was also reported that a male who was at the party had broken a window.
