Aberdeen S.D. — Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert appears to have been caught up in an early morning bar brawl in Aberdeen, South Dakota, on Saturday, June 20.
Police were called to The Zoo Bar in Aberdeen just after 1 a.m. on a report of “people busting glasses and have busted heads,” according to archived local police scanner traffic reviewed by Forum News Service.
Police radioed in shortly after from the scene to run Goedert’s ID, and those of two other men. The 6 foot-5 inch, 265-pound Goedert is from Britton, about a 60-mile drive from Aberdeen.
An ambulance was called for what was identified as a 24-year-old male who was unconscious but breathing, and the vehicle was soon headed to Avera St. Luke’s Hospital in Aberdeen. It’s unclear if the man was Goedert, who turned 25 in January. An Avera Health representative said no patient by Goedert’s name was at the Aberdeen hospital or its sister facility in Sioux Falls.
Aberdeen police later were checking local hotels for “a group that flew in from Florida,” with a rental car with plates from Sioux Falls, according to police scanner traffic.
