An Oklahoma City man has been charged with aggravated assault and battery, accused of causing extensive damage to another man's scrotum just because he wore a University of Texas (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=University+of+Texas+System&CATEGORY=ORGANIZATION) shirt into a local bar.
Allen Michael Beckett (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Allen+Michael+Beckett&CATEGORY=PERSON), 53, has not been arrested on the felony charge, which was filed Monday in Oklahoma County (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Oklahoma+County&CATEGORY=COUNTY) District Court. It carries up to five years in prison if he is convicted.
Beckett (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Allen+Michael+Beckett&CATEGORY=PERSON) is accused of having launched a verbal attack on Brian Thomas (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Brian+Thomas&CATEGORY=PERSON) when the other man walked into Henry Hudson (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Henry+Hudson&CATEGORY=PERSON)'s Pub at 3509 NW 58 on June 17, according to court documents.
Thomas (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Brian+Thomas&CATEGORY=PERSON) said Beckett (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Allen+Michael+Beckett&CATEGORY=PERSON), whom he had never met, called him "everything under the sun” for wearing a Longhorns T-shirt into the bar. He said he and his friend sat at a table in the corner and tried to ignore the other man, but other man — who apparently is a University of Oklahoma (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=University+of+Oklahoma&CATEGORY=ORGANIZATION) fan — kept screaming at him. Thomas (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Brian+Thomas&CATEGORY=PERSON) said he decided he'd had enough after about 20 minutes of Beckett (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Allen+Michael+Beckett&CATEGORY=PERSON)'s abuse so he went to the bar to pay his tab. When he turned around, he said Beckett (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Allen+Michael+Beckett&CATEGORY=PERSON) grabbed his crotch and refused to let go.
Thomas (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Brian+Thomas&CATEGORY=PERSON) hit the other man several times before several bar patrons intervened, but Thomas (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Brian+Thomas&CATEGORY=PERSON) said Beckett (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Allen+Michael+Beckett&CATEGORY=PERSON) didn't let go until Thomas (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Brian+Thomas&CATEGORY=PERSON) heard his scrotum tear and blood ran down his leg.
Thomas (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Brian+Thomas&CATEGORY=PERSON), who grew up a Texas fan, said it took more than 60 stitches to close his wound.
