Sergeant Andrew Goodrich said unlike in the movies, real-life fist fights don't always have a happy ending.
"Sometimes people minimize a fist fight and figure it's something that people do from time to time, but this isn't the first time you can have a fist fight — and especially if someone is intoxicated — and really end up with tragic results," said Goodrich.
