LACRESCENT, Minn. — An 18-year-old man was beaten in a teen-age rumble at the Apple Blossom overlook above LaCrescent. He suffered bumps and bruises. The incident was reported to authorities two nights after it occurred, Deputy Sheriff Jeff Mueller said. This appears to be what happened: There had been a teen party at a rural residence. Guys got into a heated dispute. They agreed to set to settle their differences elsewhere — up Apple Blossom Drive. There four or four five guys, age 17 and 18, ganged up on the victim. Although bloodied and bruised, he didn’t seek hospitalization. Investigators have begun tracking and interviewing the disputants. No charges yet.
