Florida Man Used Tire Iron During Fight On Hampton Beach: Cops

HAMPTON, NH — A pair of out-of-state men are facing charges after allegedly fighting on Hampton Beach two weekends ago, according to police. Shawn Riley, 34, pictured left, of Plant City, FL, was arrested on Oct. 8, 2017, and charged with first-degree assault. Also arrested on a simple assault charge was Samuel Bullock, 46, of Midlothian, VA. Police were sent to A Street for a report of a fight between two men at just before 6 p.m., according to Deputy Chief David Hobbs of the Hampton Police Department.

Hobbs alleged that during the altercation, “Riley gained access to a tire iron and struck Bullock in the head causing non-life-threatening injuries.”

Riley was arrested for first-degree assault for allegedly causing injury by means of a deadly weapon and was released on $1,000 cash bail. Bullock was also charged – since he was allegedly assaulting Riley, too – and was released on personal recognizance bail. He’s due in Seabrook District Court on Dec. 12.
