Cubs Fans at Miller Park Behaving Badly

FOX 6 reports:

Miller Park Patrols Increased After 1,000 DUIs Recorded

Cubs Fans In Jail After Tussle With Brewers Fan

Justin Williams notes that the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department has already recorded its 1000th OWI arrest in 2008, while in 2007 there were 951 for the whole year.

The Sheriff's Department is trying to get the word out that people need to behave themselves at Miller Park both in the car and out of the car, both in the parking lots and on the roads.

More on the post-game brawl, from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Three men from the Chicago area - ages 25, 26 and 34 - will be spending a little more time in Wisconsin today after being taken into custody on allegations of substantial battery in the beating of a 24-year-old West Allis man after Tuesday night's Milwaukee Brewers-Chicago Cubs game at Miller Park.

According to police, the West Allis man threw a beer can at a bus full of Cubs fans, three of whom left the bus about 10:40 p.m. while it was stuck in traffic near the stadium.

The man told police the three men beat him up, knocking a tooth out, cutting his lower lip and leaving him with pain in his jaw. The West Allis man was ticketed for disorderly conduct and taken to a hospital for treatment.

The suspects could face felony charges in the case, according to police. Milwaukee police said the 34-year-old also punched his sister in the mouth while she attempted to break up the fight.

What tough guys!

The sister of one of the Cubs fans tries to break up the fight and he punches her in the mouth.

620 WTMJ has an interview with Ethel Feezor, mother of Brandon Feezor, the 24-year-old beating victim.

Ethel Feezor makes some corrections.

She says her son didn't lose any teeth, but he has an open fracture in his jaw and needs surgery. His jaw will have to be wired shut.

And her son didn't throw a can of beer at the bus. It was a can of Red Bull.

Brandon is a student at MATC.
