Rocky Mountain College President Michael R. Mace was arrested in Indiana and spent a night in jail after allegedly beating up a man.
Mace, 55, was arrested June 13 in the northern Indianapolis suburb of Carmel on misdemeanor battery charges, the Carmel Police Department said.
Officials at the Hamilton County jail confirmed that Mace spent a night in the jail and was released on bail the next day, The Billings Gazette newspaper reported.
On Thursday, Mace told the Gazette that his attorney in Indianapolis had advised him not to comment on the case.
"We thought this case would be dropped," he said.
Mace's attorney, Jennifer Lukemeyer, also declined to comment.
The plaintiff in the case, David S. Klain, said in an e-mail to the Gazette that Mace attacked him.
Klain said Mace and his wife own a vacation home in Klain's housing development. He said Mace walked into Klain's office and "started battering my face until I hit the ground and my glasses broke."
"I was attacked completely unprovoked and never even attempted to hit back," Klain said.
Well, at least he wasn't driving drunk.
