A statement from MLPD admitted the involvement of the two officers in the fight inside and outside the bar. Bishop Police handled the criminal investigation and the Mono District Attorney was charged with an internal affairs investigation into the incident, which reportedly involved the same two officers who got into a fight in Las Vegas.
