CMU sophomore arrested for seriously injuring man in a fight
Two Mount Pleasant men were arrested for assaulting a 24-year-old man in the 3400 Block of E. Deerfield Rd. Sunday.

The incident began with a fight between McClellan and Gregory. Once they separated, Keehbauch punched the Gregory in the jaw, knocking him unconscious.
Witnesses told police that McClellan jumped from the top of a curb onto the Gregory's head, causing serious facial injuries. Gregory was taken to McLaren Central Michigan Hospital, where he was treated for bilateral orbital fractures, a broken nose and lacerations and abrasions to his head and face.
