Hermiston Police Chief Jason Edmiston reported officers Friday night arrested two men outside a bar following their drunken brawling.

Two Hermiston men, Cesar Jose Najera, 37, and Isaiah Hilliard, 39, were intoxicated at the Midway Tavern, 1750 N. First St., according to Edmiston, where they harassed, threatened and assaulted several people.

“Hilliard attempted to strangle the bouncer during the incident,” Edmiston reported in an email, “and Najera punched the glass door while leaving.”

Hermiston officers arrived to the bar at 9:52 p.m. and encountered Najera and Hilliard in the parking lot. Both were intoxicated, Edmiston continued, and Najera struggled with officers before being put in handcuffs and the back of a police car. Edmiston reported police booked Najera and Hilliard into the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton.

Circuit court records show no charges pending for Hilliard from the fracas, but Najera faces initial charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, criminal mischief, three counts of menacing and one count each of fourth-degree and third-degree assault. The final charge is the only felony.
