THE SUN (Osceola)
: An Osceola man faces felony charges relating to a Star Prairie bar incident March 28 that left a man hospitalized and potentially blind. David Scott Kammerud, 30, Osceola, allegedly badgered Keith Brown of Deer Park to an arm-wrestling challenge at Fonda's Bar in Star Prairie, and then allegedly forcibly kissed his opponent's wife after the match. Upset with Kammerud's actions, Brown reportedly demanded an apology, to which Kammerud complied. However, as Brown was walking away, Kammerud allegedly "sucker punched" Brown twice in the face, knocking him out and causing serious, immediately visible damage to the man's face and eyes. The following day, Brown's wife was unable to wake him and called an ambulance. He eventually underwent surgery at Regions Hospital in St. Paul for a broken cheekbone and orbital socket fracture.
