PEORIA, Ill. – A Bureau County man has been charged by a grand jury in Peoria with punching a young boy during a larger brawl at the Peoria Speedway in late-July.
Anthony Hickman, 27, of Princeton faces two Class-3 Felony counts of Aggravated Battery. He’s out of jail after prosecutors filed similar charges earlier in the month.
A fight that Peoria County Sheriffs Deputies estimated involved 100 people or more occurred during what was believed to be “Kids Night” at the speedway July 30th.
Hickman is alleged to have punched a four-year-old boy during the fight, identified in a 25 News story as “Ryan” when his family called for justice after the boy was injured.
Hickman is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday, October 6.
