LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) — The word “fame” is engraved on a set of brass knuckles that Longview police say a 22-year-old man used in March to beat a man in tavern parking lot.

Police say the victim suffered a broken cheekbone and the outline of the letter “A” was visible on his cheek.

Investigators say the “A” is a match from “fame.”

The Daily News reports Cowlitz County prosecutors issued a summons Tuesday for the 22-year-old Castle Rock man to appear in court to face an assault charge.
