Bottle Assulat

An altercation at a local watering hole resulted in one man allegedly being cut in the neck by a broken beer bottle while another faces charges of aggravated assault and battery. On June 9, officers were dispatched to 580 East Flaming Gorge, The Wild Horse Saloon, to respond to a call regarding an aggravated assault. Once they arrived, they met up with the victim, Roman Terry, who alleged Byron Tucker, 47, of Green River, had cut his neck with a broken beer bottle. Terry told police Tucker approached Terry and asked why he was “messing with Tucker’s friend.” Terry said Tucker had a beer bottle and was holding it by the neck and became aggressive. Terry pushed Tucker away, but Tucker swung the bottle to hit Terry. He missed and broke the bottle against a nearby wall
