Trouble At 'Badlands'

Not acceptable:

The removal of unruly patrons from a midtown nightclub preceded the death of a security guard who was hit by a vehicle outside the club early this morning, police said today.

The security guard, Leroy Fisher, 64, of Sacramento, died at UC Davis Medical Center after being hit in the Badlands nightclub parking lot at 20th and K streets.

"There was an altercation inside Badlands, and security did remove some people," said Sacramento police spokesman Sgt. Norm Leong. "Sometime during the evening, security re-contacted the people that were kicked out in the back parking lot."

That's when Fisher was run over, Leong said. So far, authorities are not releasing descriptions of a vehicle or driver.
