A man is arrested after knocking out another man with a ceramic ashtray.
Lincoln Police Officer Luke Bonkiewicz said police were called to a home in the 1800 block of South 9th Street around 9 PM Saturday on reports of an assault.
On arrival, officers contacted a 59-year-old victim with a gash in his forehead who told officers he was hit in the head with an ashtray by an intoxicated 46-year-old Billie Schmidt.
“He became upset for no apparent reason. They’re not exactly sure what happened,” said Bonkiewicz
Officers located Schmidt the following day and he was arrested for 2nd-degree assault and use of a weapon to commit a felony.
