Thomas Hatchel Linens had a large knot forming on the top of his hand from where he struck one of the suspects, according to the police report. The report says Linens broke his pinky finger and suffered a box fracture to his hand.
According to Assistant Police Chief Craig Andrews, there are no suspects at this time but the investigation is on-going. Andrews describes the suspects as three black males who are not Elon students. According to the police report, the three males possibly left in a gray or silver Dodge Charger.
Elon Football Head Coach Rich Skrosky has not responded to ELN’s request for comment.
CLICK HERE for full details/more details and to see the young men that got up in that fight…..
Not a great punch if he hurt his pinkie. Jeans around his ankles?
Sounds like a rough night and some of those details do make you wonder, but for sure, a serious situation….
May be the only D1 football team in the US where football players get beaten up by someone else—and in what is described as a 3 on 3 fight. Most people would consider that a fair fight. LOL!!!!
