Presque Isle man’s condition downgraded

PRESQUE ISLE – The condition of a Presque Isle man assaulted with a baseball bat last Saturday was downgraded Wednesday to critical, according to a hospital representative at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor.

Darryl Currier, 28, had been listed as serious on Tuesday, which was an improvement from a day earlier.

Currier was one of seven people involved in a series of fights early last Saturday that began in Presque Isle and later moved to a house on Route 163 in Mapleton, where Currier was hit in the head with the bat.

Police are still investigating the incident.
