PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Two nuclear submarine sailors have been arraigned on charges of beating a man and leaving him unconscious on a Portsmouth street.

The Portsmouth Herald reports the victim was identified in court Tuesday as Stephen Huntress, 48, of nearby Kittery Point, Maine. Huntress is a former chairman of the Kittery Town Council. He suffered a fractured skull and remains hospitalized in intensive care.

Police say an officer found Huntress a few minutes before midnight Friday night. Investigators arrested Gerald Smith, 22, of Honolulu and Sandy Portobanco, 23, of Inglewood, Calif. The USS Greeneville crewmen have been ordered held on $200,000 bail each.

They are charged with assault and witness tampering after police say they threatened a witness. They are scheduled to be back in court June 4.
