Hall was cited for disorderly conduct, public intoxicati­on and interferen­ce with official acts. Dorleant was cited for interferen­ce.

Police say officers responded to a report of a fight outside the bar Sharkey’s Funhouse on Saturday night.

According to a police affidavit, Hall did not respond to police instructio­ns and spit in the officers’ faces. Police say an officer used a Taser on Hall’s legs in order to get him into the squad car.

Dorleant was detained after authoritie­s say he approached officers “in a threatenin­g manner” following Hall’s arrest.

Officials with the Bears and Packers did not immediatel­y respond to emails looking for comment.

Both men played college football in Cedar Falls at Northern Iowa.
