But it was Fair who ended up injured. He even called police for help.

Fair is accused of getting into an argument with 30-year-old Justin Dunkin at Dunkin’s home in the 300 block of North Chestnut Street. During the altercation, according to court documents, the defendant “threatened to bring a gun and shoot Dunkin in the head.”

He left but returned a short time later in a vehicle. When he stepped out of the car, he had a hammer in his hand, documents said. Dunkin punched the defendant, who retreated to his car and called police.

Officers said Fair was bleeding from the left ear when they arrived.
