WINONA, Minn. – When the bartender had seen enough, he told the drunk leave. When he didn’t, the bartender tried to escort him out. The bartender told police that the drunk then got in his face and threatened to come back with a baseball bat. The bartender said he took the man to the floor and held him down until police arrived. The drunk, age 56, had a small bleeding bruise on his forehead but otherwise seemed OK and wandered off, police said. Neither the bartender nor the drunk wanted to file charges, police said. This was about 4:40 p.m. near Third and Lafayette streets downtown.
