EDGERTON A Twin Cities man is being held in the Pipestone County Jail after being arrested during the Hairball concert at the Edgerton Dutch Festival.
The Pipestone County Sheriff s Office responded to a Saturday complaint that a large man was fighting people near the front of the crowd. When officers arrived, they reportedly observed several people holding down a man identified as Alexander Hart, 28, of Mound. One of the witnesses said Hart punched a woman in the face.
When police attempted to arrest Hart, he allegedly began screaming at and spitting on the officers. He reportedly kicked an officer in the chest, causing the officer s taser holster to break and the taser to fly into the crowd. Hart then allegedly kicked a second officer in the chest, breaking the officer s microphone.
