Search Warrant Results In Two Arrests

A baseball bat attack that left the victim briefly unconscious has resulted in two arrests.

The injuries were sustained after a fight on the 6100 block of Casson Street around 4 a.m. Thursday. Investigators say the victim drove away from that fight, but the suspects followed him home and knocked on his door.

The victim immediately struck one of the suspects, Jonathan Sachok, in the face and the two grappled on the ground, a report states. When the victim was pinned on the ground, Sachok kicked him in the face, according to a report. The victim continued to fight with the suspects until he was struck on the side of the head with a baseball bat, knocking him unconscious, a report states.

He has since regained consciousness, but remains in critical condition with a fractured skull, a report states. Sachok, 18, of Crystal Springs, is charged with battery; Barry Brayton, 20, of 6159 Casson St., is charged with aggravated battery. Both were arrested Thursday.
