A 38-year-old
Taylorsville man died early Saturday morning following an
altercation outside Club Allure with a bouncer.
Sandy Police Lt.
John Eining said James Masden was asked to leave the club after
a dispute resulting in an altercation with his girlfriend at
about 12:38 a.m.
Bouncers forced
Masden outside the club. He then made several attempts to
reenter the club and then hit a bouncer. According to Eining,
the bouncer "took him to the ground," without hitting or
fighting with Masden.
Masden then went
into full arrest and was taken to Alta View Hospital where he
was pronounced dead.
Police are
continuing to investigate.
