Assault charges were pending on a Laurens man following an indent in the Jersey neighborhood around 4:20 yesterday afternoon. A woman reported that her grandson knows something about an incident that her son was involved with and that her husband wanted to know about it. When the grandson refused to give information, the husband allegedly began to assault him. The grandson reportedly told Officer Craven that he was struck approximately 6 times with a crutch, and that as he attempted to escape the older man pinned him in a closet and struck him with the crutch. EMS was dispatched to check out the grandson’s injuries. It appeared that the juvenile would lose the nail from the big toe on his right foot, as a result of the injuries.
