Amador County – The Jackson Police Department confirmed Thursday that a bare-knuckle street brawl occurred on Jackson’s Main Street at approximately 3:40 p.m. last Monday. The incident is the latest in a growing number of fights and vandalisms reported from the struggling historic thoroughfare. The JPD said Jackson resident Tim Francis made comments to a man he passed on the street, resulting in a fist fight between the two individuals. The fight was immediately reported to law enforcement by workers at Agave restaurant who witnessed the commotion from inside the establishment. Jackson Police Chief Scott Morrison, Captain Christy Stidger and three other officers were reportedly on scene within minutes. The Amador County Sheriff’s Office also sent deputies. Morrison reported that it appeared that Francis had started the fight and also received the majority of injuries during the altercation. Francis was transported to Sutter Amador Hospital, where he was treated for a deep gash above his right eye and swelling in his face. The JPD subsequently arrested him for public drunkenness. It could not be verified whether Francis and the other man were familiar with one another. Story by Alex Lane This email address is being protected from spambots.
