A brawl involving multiple people outside The Otter Supper Club in Ottertail on Friday night ended with a man being sent to the emergency room.

The Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a fight involving 15-20 people in The Otter’s parking lot at about 11:30 p.m.

An officer with the Perham Police Department was the first official to arrive on scene, where 31-year-old Jay Richard Monson was found unconscious, according to police records.

Witnesses at the scene said Monson had been assaulted by two unknown men, who fled the scene in a silver sedan, heading south on Highway 78. One of the men was reportedly wearing a white sweatshirt.

Monson was later transported to Perham Health, where he refused treatment.
