A 2009 bar fight has led to aggravated battery charges being filed against Hudson, Florida 31-year-old Clayton Towne. The man known as “Snake” allegedly punched Thomas Baldoni in the eye during a fight at MacDaddy’s Pub causing the 42-year-old to lose sight in his right eye. The fight occurred November 20 and Towne was arrested Thursday and booked into Land O’Lakes jail on $20,000 bond.
Towne has claimed he acted in self-defense but Baldoni and his son both claim Towne hit the man several times while he was caring a friend. Baldoni was flown to St. Petersburg’s Bayfront Medical Center after he was discovered in the bar’s parking lot. Baldoni was unconscious. There is no mention of Towne being represented by a Tampa Criminal Defense Lawyer.
