Charges Possible After Saturday Fracas In Moscow, ID; Charges Against Kirkers Remain

A 59-year-old man punched a 55-year-old man multiple times in the face after the younger man threw coffee at the older man Saturday afternoon during a protest across the street from the Moscow Police Department, according to Moscow police Capt. Will Krasselt and a video posted on YouTube.
