Three Sisters men are in jail after a brawl outside a Sisters restaurant Sunday night, January 26.
According to Deschutes County Sheriff's Office reports, the three men assaulted 30-year-old Brian Greene of Portland after a verbal dispute outside Coyote Creek Café turned physical.
The assault left Greene unconscious. Sisters medics attended him while sheriff's deputies and Black Butte Ranch police tracked down Keenan Elbers, 22, and Elliott Dahl, 23, both of Sisters.
Deputies arrested them on second degree assault charges. Garrett Dahl was arrested on Monday, January 27, to face the same charge.
According to sheriff's office reports, all the men had watched the Super Bowl and had been drinking through the afternoon. Witnesses were unsure what exactly caused the fight to break out, but they agreed that Elbers had "shot off his mouth" at Greene.
Greene apparently made some response and Elbers then allegedly charged at him and hit him in the face with his fist. Greene reportedly pushed Elbers back into a post in front of the restaurant and the pair grappled and went to the ground, with Elliott and Garrett Dahl allegedly jumping into the fray.
According to sheriff's office reports, several witness reported that the three men punched and kicked Greene until he was unconscious, then left the scene.
Deputies reported that Greene suffered cuts and bruises to his face, especially in the area of his eyes and nose. According to Greene's girlfriend, he was unconscious for five to 10 minutes. He did not require transport to the hospital.
The case is being forwarded to the Deschutes County District Attorney's Office for prosecution.
