On January 5, 2012 at approximately 3:45 a.m., police were dispatched to Myrah Keating Clinic to investigate a disturbance involving two Hispanic males. Police believe the men had been enjoying the night life in Cruz Bay when an altercation occurred. The incident left one of them with a laceration that required five sutures, and the other with a cut forehead that required 10 staples. The men refused to cooperate with police. If you know something, say something so that the perpetrators can be brought to justice.
