Lawrence police responded to a fight Saturday afternoon between two roommates that began over “being able to prove math,” said Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department.

The roommates, a 22-year-old KU student and a 24-year-old KU student, were involved in a fight in the 1700 block of Vermont Street, according to the police report.

The roommates hit each other with their fists, but no medical attention was needed, Ward said.

The incident was referred to Lawrence Municipal Court for review and possible prosecution, Ward said.

Michael Bryan Peterson, the 24-year-old student, was arrested after the responding officer found that he had two outstanding municipal warrants, Ward said.

Peterson was booked into Douglas County Jail at 6:27 p.m. on April 30 on two charges of failing to appear in court, according to jail records.
