MINOT, N.D. (AP) - A Minot man is accused of punching a nurse while he was hospitalized after a night of drinking.
Alberto Moreno, 36, is charged with Class C felony simple assault for last weekend’s incident, the Minot Daily News reported.
A police affidavit shows that Moreno was kicked out of a bar and was later found unconscious and taken to a local hospital.
Moreno told officers at the hospital he had been assaulted and was told to report to the police station when he was sober. Police were called back to the hospital when they received a report that Moreno was being combative.
A nurse said she had been talking on a cellphone with Moreno’s brother and when she tried to return the phone Moreno sat up and punched her in the face.
Court documents do not show an attorney for Moreno.
