A 21-year-old Menomonie man was arrested early Sunday morning after he allegedly pulled out a knife during an incident at a State Street bar.
Ryan M. Ellwanger allegedly pulled the knife on a group of mostly women around 1 a.m. at Hawk’s Bar and Grill after trying to “fist bump” them and join them at their table, according to a police report.
One of the victim’s boyfriends asked Ellwanger to leave, causing the suspect to show the knife, the report said.
The suspect said he carries the knife for protection, according to the police report.
Ellwanger was arrested for disorderly conduct while armed and carrying a concealed weapon.
