Homeless Man Arrested

A homeless man rescued from a garbage truck two weeks ago, has been arrested for punching a 70 year old man in the face. Police say 44 year old Robert Baswell punched William Brightly in the face at the Avante Nursing Home in West Palm Beach, after Brightly confronted him about some items that were missing from his room. The victim was not seriously hurt. Baswell was recovering in the nursing home from two broken legs and cracked ribs. He suffered the injuries during an incident when he fell asleep in a trash dumpster, and was thrown into a garbage truck. Baswell spent hours there in excruciating pain, until someone heard his screams for help and he was rescued.
