Apparently buying a man the wrong brand of beer can cause some physical suffering, as a Stoughton man learned the hard way at the Madison Avenue nightclub Saturday.
According to a police report, the Stoughton man was dancing with a female friend early Saturday morning when the woman accidently spilled some beer on a man's shoulder. The man, who quickly became angry, confronted the victim, who then offered to buy him a beer.
The victim bought him a Coors Light. The man wanted a Bud Light. This angered the man even more, leading him to pull out a sharp object and hold it to the victim's neck. The suspect dragged the sharp object down the victim's body and then used it to cut the victim's hand.
According to the report, police were called, and the suspect was found outside the nightclub and arrested. Police found the neck of a broken beer bottle in one of the suspect's pockets.
The arrested suspect is Manuel L. Cardenas, 30, of Sun Prairie. Cardenas was tentatively charged with second-degree recklessly endangering safety.
