Police have arrested three more men in connection with the beating of a West Jordan man Nov. 26.
One man was arrested in Salt Lake County late Saturday night. The other two were arrested in Missouri Sunday, said Paul Brenneman of Salt Lake Metro Gang unit.
The two men in Missouri were awaiting extradition Monday.
Last week, investigators arrested four men in connection with the beating. As of Tuesday detectives were looking for two more suspects.
The suspects are accused of severely beating Clemente Perez, 27, during a party. Perez was dropped off at Jordan Valley Hospital, where police had trouble identifying him before some witnesses stepped forward.
