NC soldier arrested in attack on Ohio homeless man

CINCINNATI — A soldier in North Carolina accused with three other men of beating a homeless man in Cincinnati has been arrested.

Officials at Fort Bragg in North Carolina said Wednesday that Spc. Travis Condor was taken into custody on an arrest warrant issued in the April 10 assault.

Condor is a native of Savannah, Ga. A phone listing for Condor in Savannah was unlisted.

Military officials say Condor is with the 82nd Airborne Division and served in Iraq.

Cincinnati police plan to extradite Condor to Ohio to face a charge of felonious assault in the beating of John Johnson.

Police say Johnson was sleeping under a bridge when his assailants attacked him because they wanted to “kick somebody’s butt.”

A soldier from Kentucky and an Ohio man also have been arrested. Police are searching for the fourth suspect.
