Jury finds Arkansas biker club member guilty in bar fight

TEXARKANA, Ark. — An Arkansas biker club member has been sentenced to a year in county jail for his role in a bar fight that left another man in need of facial reconstructive surgery.

A Miller County jury found 30-year-old Carl Aaron guilty of a lesser charge of misdemeanor battery in the 2013 fight.

The Texarkana Gazette reported that Aaron testified on Tuesday that he punched David Huddleston in the face because Huddleston lunged at him.

Huddleston was knocked unconscious and eventually flown to a Hot Springs hospital, where he had surgery for fractured bones around his left eye.

Huddleston testified that his medical bills totaled around $80,000. He testified that he didn't provoke Aaron, a member of the Fukowee motorcycle club.
