FARMINGTON – A 30-year-old man was listed in good condition at Central Maine Medical Center on Tuesday after suffering a head injury in an altercation early Sunday morning.
At 2:40 a.m., Christopher Pinkham of Boothbay Harbor was returning to a friend’s apartment on Court Street when a verbal disagreement turned into a fistfight with two other men, according Lt. Jack Peck of Farmington Police Department. Pinkham sustained a severe head injury when he fell to the pavement at Court and High Streets, Peck said.
The two men fled when Pinkham fell.
Pinkham’s speech became noticeably slurred shortly after he arrived at the Court Street apartment, and his wife and friends brought him to Franklin Memorial Hospital. He was taken by ambulance to the Lewiston hospital later that morning.
No charges have been filed yet – details of the incident are being reviewed by assistant district attorneys. Although police know the identity of the two other men, their names are not being released pending the investigation and possible charges.
Peck said Pinkham plans to press charges. The suspects have retained legal counsel but declined to be interviewed by police, he said.
Pinkham doesn’t remember much, he added.
