\nA University of Kentucky student was charged with first-degree assault and possession of fake identification cards after a fight left a victim with \u201csignificant brain injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hunter Hawthorne had gotten into a fight with another man at Two Fisted Willie\u2019s bar, according to a criminal complaint, after the victim reportedly tried to diffuse a verbal fight between Hawthorne and one of the victim\u2019s friends.<\/p>\n
The criminal complaint said Hawthorne punched the victim in the face, rendering him unconscious.<\/p>\n
The victim and his father told police that the victim was treated for a severe concussion, possible traumatic brain injury, a fractured skull and a brain bleed, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n
\u201cDue to the suspects actions, I believe he wantonly created a grave risk of death by assaulting the victim, thus resulting in multiple significant brain injuries, which can commonly become fatal,\u201d the criminal complaint reads.<\/p>\n
After conducting a search warrant of Hawthorne\u2019s residence, an arrest citation says officers found nine identification cards with various names and pictures in Hawthorne\u2019s bedroom, all of which were confirmed to be false.
