Law enforcement report

¢ A 20-year-old Lawrence man was injured Monday night after being pushed into a pan of hot grease during a fight at an apartment in the 3300 block of West Eighth Street.

The man was at a friend’s apartment about 10:40 p.m. Monday when two men began fighting because one took the other’s food, according to a report. The man said he tried to break up the fight when another person, an 18-year-old Lawrence man, jumped in and pushed him. The 20-year-old landed on a frying pan that was being used to cook chicken, according to a report. He was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital for his injuries.

Police were interviewing witnesses Tuesday. The 18-year-old, who police think was under the influence of alcohol, had not been arrested.

¢ Police arrested a 30-year-old Lawrence man early Monday on suspicion of having sexual contact with a 15-year-old female acquaintance in a vehicle parked on the south side of town. Police said an officer on routine patrol came across the vehicle between 4:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. Lawrence Police Department spokeswoman Kim Murphree wouldn’t give an exact location but said it was near the girl’s home. An investigation at the scene led police to arrest the man for aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
