KNOXVILLE – Two men were arrested in Knoxville after a bar fight and they each face charges for the incident.

According to court records, on Friday, October 24, officers with the Knoxville Police Department were dispatched to Bottom’s Up Bar in Knoxville for a reported bar fight involving two men. Upon arrival, officers approached witnesses outside of the bar, who told them that 37-year-old Jon Luran of Chariton and 38-year-old Justin Kanney of Humeston were involved in the fight, which began inside the bar, along with a third, unidentified male.

Witnesses say Luran, Kanney, and the third male were all kicked out of the bar for the incident. While leaving the establishment, Luran and Kanney allegedly approached another male and attempted to start an altercation with him; court documents show that the man walked away with Luran and Kanney.

Police say that Luran was observed to have bloodshot, watery eyes, slurred speech, and an odor of alcoholic beverages on his person. He was offered a preliminary breath test multiple times and refused, though he did allegedly admit to drinking “a few shots.”

Both Luran and Kanney were arrested by authorities in Knoxville and transported to the Marion County Jail, where they both face a charge of disorderly conduct – fighting/violent behavior, a simple misdemeanor. Luran is also charged with public intoxication, a simple misdemeanor. Both charges impose a fine of $105.
