Man doing Port-A-Potty fund-raiser assaulted

MATTOON – A Mattoon man raising money for charity by living in a portable toilet for most of November was assaulted early Saturday morning by a teen-ager who had wanted to use the bathroom facilities.

Jason Craig, 30, of Mattoon, did not sustain injuries, but the teen-ager was charged with battery for allegedly throwing a metal folding chair at Craig that nicked him in the leg and chipped the toilet seat.
