Two student athletes have been dismissed from the team because of the altercation that took place on Jan. 28.
A brawl broke out at the Nite lite on that night, and Northwestern Oklahoma State University has been helping with the investigation.
“Northwestern continues to assist the Woods County Sheriff’s Office on its investigation of the matter,” Northwestern Oklahoma State University announced.
Northwestern Oklahoma State University also said that to date no criminal charges have been filed.
Denise Lagan, the mother of Garrett Lagan, a man from Enid who was sent to the hospital because of the brawl, has also been speaking up about the altercation. However, when asked for an interview Lagan declined to speak about the incident.
She does however, continue to update her Facebook page with new comments and posts. Lagan wrote that after her son saw a young man being hit over the head with a beer bottle, her son felt the young man’s life was in danger. “My son stepped in because he believed he could stop the fight,” Lagan wrote. The fight consisted of nine people fighting against the one young man and later a bouncer was being overwhelmed by three of the participants in the fight, she wrote.
Lagan also wrote that a bystander was hurt as well. “One young lady was beaten so badly in the chest as a bystander caught in the door that she ended up in the hospital having seizures,” Lagan wrote. She also wrote that this young lady was too scared of retaliation to come forward. “She was lying in the bed next to my son in the ER yet when we asked, the sherriff said no one else was transported to the hospital,” Lagan wrote in her Facebook post.
In one of Lagan’s newest posts she wrote that there was a large puddle of blood in the entry way “where my son crawled on his hands and knees trying to escape as the multiple attackers continued to punch, kick, and hit him.”
She also wrote that her son managed to crawl outside. Lagan wrote that even then the kicking and hitting did not stop.
