Putting The "Fight" In Firefighter

He's no horse-puncher, but a Chicago firefighter found himself in hot water after a scuffle with an on-duty police officer. Firefighter Scott Holland was arrested and charged with aggravated battery of a police officer (a felony) after he punched an on-duty bicycle police officer patrolling the Bears post-game crowd last night. Holland's attack was enough to send the officer to the hospital for treatment. Not much about the fight is known other than that the two simply "got into it," so reports that they "rumbled" or that it was a "smackdown" appear a little exaggerated. [Sun-Times]
