Sheriff’s officials in Fremont County arrested a man Tuesday on assault, and other charges. Authorities say deputies were on routine patrol in Sidney, when they were flagged down by a witness who reported a possible fight in progress at Maple Street and Filmore Street. Through an investigation, deputies determined 28-year old Austin Haler, of Sidney, had allegedly assaulted an 18 year old male, and a 17 year old female who were walking past his residence.  The 18 year old and 17 year old had no contact with Haler prior to the assault.

Haler was arrested for Public Intoxication, Disorderly Conduct, and two counts of Simple Assault. He was being held in the Fremont County Jail, pending an arraignment with the Magistrate.
