Hicks would not speculate on whether he would eventually file charges or not. “I think they’ve both got a return date of March 3, so I have some time to meet with witnesses and stuff before I make my final decision.” Last Friday, following Hannah’s arrest by the Columbia Police Department, Sgt. Ken Hammond speculated that charges could be filed shortly. “My guess is if they’re not filed (Saturday) they’ll be filed on Monday,” Hammond said. The arrests stemmed from a Jan. 27 incident at the Athena Night Club at which Hannah’s jaw was broken in an alleged altercation between Hannah and Horton and club employees
