It was reported just before 11 p.m. at the Bismarck Tavern on Broadway.<\/p>\n<p>Bar staff reported a disturbance involving two men. The argument was reportedly linked to Nance.<\/p>\n<p>Officers spoke with people at the scene to sort out what occurred. One officer then tried to talk with Nance about the dispute.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, Nance did not cooperate with that contact. She allegedly punched the officer in the eye.<\/p>\n<p>Nance was arrested at the bar after the alleged punch. She was later booked into jail on the felony assault count.<\/p>\n<p>Felony simple assault on an officer can carry significant punishment.
