Groom Arrested After Fight with Best Man, Say Police

The man motioned for the officer to leave him alone, but the officer approached him and placed him in handcuffs, due to his erratic behavior. The man said he was drunk and was being bitten my mosquitoes.

He told the officer it was his wedding night and that he got drunk and left his reception. The officer attempted to find eventually located the bride, who was still in her wedding dress, at the hotel, and the bride agreed to take responsibility for him for the evening, as he was not - at that point - under arrest.

Police said she joked about signing her married name for the first time on the police's inebriated person release form. The groom's handcuffs were released, but without warning, the officer said the man became belligerent and began clenching his fists as he walked away from the officers.

According to police, the groom immediately began fighting with another man - and not just any other man - the best man. The officers attempted to calm the groom and best man down, but the two men turned on the officers, becoming aggressive and refusing to comply with police demands.

Both men were placed under arrest for disorderly conduct and the groom was taken to a detox facility.

Police say the fight initially began between the two men because the groom had been accused of "making out" with one of the bridesmaids at the reception.
