Friends end night with pool cue assault

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Nine ball in the corner pocket and a four-inch cut to the back of the head with a pool cue.

Hart left the scene before police arrived and was arrested at his home Saturday night just before eight.  He's charged with aggravated assault.

The victim is a 24-year-old man from Alexandria.
