Former heavyweight street fighter Antonio Wabol Nekaifes was arrested again, this time for allegedly knocking out the brother of his common-law wife.
Nekaifes, 32, also known as Xcalibur, was arrested for assault and battery.
The alleged victim, Anthony I. Somorang, sustained a swollen right cheek, nose, and lips. He had a black eye and suffered several cuts to the face. He also had abrasions to the back of his head.
In yesterday’s hearing, Superior Court presiding judge Robert Naraja set a $1,000 property bond for the defendant’s temporary liberty.
Arraignment was set for Aug. 4 at 9am.
Detective Andrea C. Ozawa stated in the report that on Sunday night Nekaifes and Somorang had an argument about Nekaifes’ common-law wife, Somorang’s sister, at Somorang’s residence in Chalan Laulau.
The argument escalated into a shoving match, and Nekaifes and Somorang fell to the ground. As Somorang fell, he hit the back of his head against a hollow block, causing the victim to pass out. Nekaifes allegedly went on top of him and punched him repeatedly in the face. Somorang failed to fight back because he had blacked out.
His wife later took him to the Commonwealth Health Center’s emergency room.
On Jan. 10, 2007, the Superior Court sentenced Nekaifes to five years probation in connection with a 2006 criminal case where he reportedly beat up a motorist and assauled him with a rock in Chalan Laulau.
