Assaults keep lawmen busy
By Steve Nash -- Brownwood Bulletin
Brownwood police received reports of recent assaults, including one that stemmed from a basketball game at Coggin Park and another in which a woman won't tell police what happened despite witness' statements that she was abducted.
A 20-year-old man playing basketball Wednesday evening was teamed with a tattooed man he didn't know, according to a report filed by officer Mike Clark.
The man told police that the tattooed man seemed to have a "problem" with him from the time the game began, and accused him of not passing the ball. He tried to calm the tattooed man and said it wasn't deliberate.
"You don't know who you're messing with. You're messing with the wrong (expletive)," the tattooed man, who is black, said, using a racial epithet.
The 20-year-old backed away but was hit several times in his face and forehead when the tattooed man began swinging his fists, Clark's report states.
He retrieved his belongings and walked to his car, and the tattooed man followed him and kicked him, then drove away in his own car, Clark's report states.
Witnesses told Clark that the 20-year-old is a likable person who never causes problems and had done nothing to provoke the incident. An investigation continues.
