OGDEN, Utah (AP) -- A local watering hole in Ogden may face a city censure for a string of bar brawls, including a weekend melee involving at least 30 people.

Police say the latest brawl at El Tenampa started early Sunday morning. Officers entered the building where two fights had broken out. Chairs and tables were strewn about and broken beer bottles were flying.

At least three people were arrested, one of whom was treated for injuries.

Officers also discovered a 14-year-old inside the bar while investigating the fight.

Officers have gone to El Tenampa several times this year, and the establishment may be censured by the city for maintaining a public nuisance.

Police have responded to at least five calls of disorderly conduct and simple assault there in 2006, including two last month.
