Police arrest man, break up unruly crowd in Morris

Officers saw Chicago man hit female in intersection

An argument at a downtown bar escalated into a fight that required police to break up a large and unruly crowd that gathered to watch the incident.

Upon arriving to the scene of a disturbance call shortly after midnight early Friday, March 23, Morris police witnessed Michael D. Crowley, 24, of Chicago, strike a female in the intersection of Liberty and Main streets in Morris.

Morris Police Chief Brent Dite said several onlookers then stepped in, apparently to the woman's defense.
