Former Tewksbury Wrestling Champ Broc Dokos' Assault Trial Delayed: Report

TEWKSBURY, MA — The trial for former Tewksbury Memorial High School wrestling champion Broc Dokos has been delayed, reports the Lowell Sun. According to the Sun's report, a last-minute change in defense attorneys has prompted the delay of the case.

On Monday, Judge Ellen Caulo granted a request that a status hearing would be held Feb. 3, where a new trial date will be set, according to the report. The Division 2 State Wrestling Champion, 18, was placed into custody on July 4 after an alleged attack left the victim temporarily unconscious and with broken bones, according to Tewksbury police.
