A man is facing an assault charge after Montana authorities say he threw a 13-year-old boy to the ground at a rodeo because the teenager didn’t remove his hat when the national anthem was played.
The boy was taken to a hospital in Spokane, Wash., but details about his condition were not released. Court documents filed by Mineral County Atty. Ellen Donohue said the boy was flown to the hospital for a possible concussion and fractured skull.
The boy cursed at Brockway in response, and the man grabbed him by the throat, “lifted him into the air and slammed the boy into the ground,” Donohue wrote.A witness, Taylor Hennick, told the Missoulian newspaper she was at the rodeo when she heard a “pop” and saw the boy on the ground, bleeding from his ears. The assailant justified his actions by saying the boy “was disrespecting the national anthem so he had every right to do that,” Hennick said.
Brockway, of Superior, Mont., made an initial court appearance Monday on a charge of assault on a minor. Brockway’s attorney, Lance Jasper, was not in the office Tuesday and did not return a phone call or an email seeking comment.
