HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (AP) A former Bentonville firefighter charged with attacking an Asian American man in Hot Springs says the firefighter was unknowingly drugged with a hallucinogen while at a bar prior to the altercation, according to his attorney.
Ben Snodgrass, who resigned as a firefighter after being charged with misdemeanor battery and public intoxication, has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Snodgrass attacked Liem Nguyen “for not being American” outside a Hot Springs casino on March 13, according to a probable cause affidavit.
But Brent Miller, Snodgrass attorney, told The Sentinel-Record that security video shows Nguyen hitting Snodgrass in the face and knocking him to the ground, then hitting him in the head.
