Police arrested two after fight outside Union Bar

Police arrested two after a fight outside the Union Bar.

Elizabeth Dealejandro, 22, Mount Pleasant, Iowa, and Yurico Maldonado, 21, were charged Sunday with disorderly conduct, a serious misdemeanor.

According to reports, officers were patrolling the Pedestrian Mall when a group of people began fighting outside the Union Bar, 121 E. College St.

Officials said it appeared the fighting had begun in the bar, and bouncers appeared to be escorting them out.

Reports said Dealejandro was allegedly physically abusive to staff when being escorted out of the bar.

Dealejandro allegedly told officers she was "just trying to help out a friend."
