COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A man has been arrested and will be charged in the alleged attack on a Central Ohio soldier at a local concert venue, NBC 4's Monique Ming Laven reported.

Brent Cornwell, of Blacklick, was arrested Tuesday night by Columbus police. Investigators said Cornwell will be charged.

Foster Barton 19, of Grove City, was on leave from the war in Iraq earlier this month when he said he was beaten in the parking lot after a Toby Keith concert at Germain Amphitheater.

Barton said his attacker beat him up because he was wearing an Operation Iraqi Freedom T-shirt. Barton was beaten so badly that he was knocked unconscious.

"Police said Cornwell called a morning radio show last week and said he wanted to give his side of the story, Laven reported."

I was praying they would catch him. I hope they throw the book at him he is nothing but a coward. It takes a real man to sucker punch a wounded man.

Only problem there is that the victim was a straight, white male. No such thing as a "hate crime" against straight, white males.

I know your heart is in the right place. But please -- I don't want this guy in my unit or any other U.S. unit. As a criminal he's unfit for service.

Nah -- I think DU gives these people some kind of gold star or something, as a reward.
