RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - The lawyer for a South Dakota National
Guard soldier says his client remains in a Minneapolis-area
hospital from severe injuries he received in fight outside of a
Spearfish restaurant.
Twenty-two-year-old Hugo Estes was hurt outside the restaurant
on Sunday. Spearfish Police and South Dakota Highway Patrol
responded to the fight in progress there at 2 a.m.
Estes' lawyer Richard Pluimer says Estes suffered a severe head
injury in the fight.
Spearfish Police are still investigating the incident and are
waiting to be able to question Estes.
Estes, a National Guardsman, returned from a tour in Afghanistan
last year before volunteering for a second tour.
