LAS VEGAS (AP) - Police say two men were issued summonses for disorderly conduct after a Sharron Angle fan dressed in a sheep costume taunted a Harry Reid supporter at a U.S. Senate campaign rally starring former President Bill Clinton.

Police and witnesses tell The Associated Press the spat began as more than 1,000 Reid supporters left the get-out-the-vote event at a Las Vegas high school Tuesday night.

The man in the costume called the Democrats "sheep." An argument ensued.

Witnesses say someone pushed the Angle supporter, who responded with a blast of pepper spray.

Clark County School District police Lt. Ken Young says only the two men received citations.

At another Reid-Angle candidate forum last month, a fistfight also broke out between supporters of the two candidates.

Angle and Reid are scheduled to debate tonight.
