Barton County Sheriff

A 60-year-old man driving through Barton County sustained several lacerations to his face when another motorist threw a plastic foam container full of liquid at his windshield. The man said he was driving west on U.S. 56 at 12:09 a.m. Sunday; he was just west of the Dartmouth elevator when the vehicle passed from the opposite direction and the other driver threw the container. Kansas Highway Patrol and Ellinwood Ambulance also responded.

Two women were arrested on battery charges around 2:20 a.m. Sunday after a fight at the bar at 206 North U.S. 281.
