Unalaska, AK – A 32-year-old man is in custody after allegedly fracturing another man's skull in a fight outside of the UniSea Sports Bar on Sunday night.
Joshua Trueblood was charged with second-degree assault this morning in Unalaska's District Court. Witnesses said a man matching his description punched Steven Evans outside the bar at about 8:20 p.m., and then slammed Evans's head into the pavement. The attack left Evans with a fractured skull, broken nose, broken dentures and a cut in his forehead that required stitches, according to the police report. He was taken by ambulance to the Iliuliuk Clinic.
Evans told police that he had been involved in a fight with a woman at the Sports Bar a few minutes earlier. She and Trueblood were located by police at Latitudes about an hour and a half after the incident. Trueblood denied any involvement in the assault.
