In the early morning hours of Thursday, April 6, Fort Collins Police responded to a disturbance at the bar, when the girlfriend of one suspect interfered with the officers. A portion of the incident was captured on video, which shows an officer throwing Colorado State University student Michaella Surat to the ground.
