HELENA — Skyler Ittner, 28 years old, has been charged with being disorderly at the Last Chance Stampede & Fair on Saturday, July 27, 2024.
Ittner was reportedly arguing with one of the fair vendors and refused to leave after being asked several times.
Lewis & Clark County Sheriff Dutton ultimately approached Ittner and asked him to leave.
When he again refused, court records say that Dutton used his body to push Ittner away from the booth.
That is when Ittner allegedly stepped into the Sheriff, and the altercation began, with both men going to the ground.
Prosecutors say other deputies stepped in to detain Ittner, but while the Sheriff was on the ground, Ittner was able to punch him, causing noticeable swelling.
On Tuesday, July 30, the Lewis & Clark County Sheriff's Office posted on Facebook:
