CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Former NASCAR driver Mike Wallace still suffers from black floaters in his right eye and still has problems with depth perception from injuries suffered in an alleged assault June 17 following a Rascal Flatts concert.Wallace testified about his injuries Tuesday during the first day of trial for three men charged with misdemeanors for assaulting him, his daughter and his son-in-law. The men -- Paul Lucas, 29, Nathan Lucas, 24, and Randolph Mangum, 23 -- pleaded not guilty during the arraignment prior to the start of the trial.The 57-year-old Wallace also suffered a broken tooth that he still needs to have replaced as well as lacerations in his mouth. His daughter, Lindsey Wallace Van Wingerden, suffered a broken wrist and black eye.On the stand for more than two hours, Wallace testified he doesnt remember the fight itself. He said he saw a man staggering by the bathroom and then later saw him arrive to a group across from his car. Wallace testified he told the group, Howd you like the show? and then when he saw the man, added, Looks like your boy made it back. When told the mans mother was there, he said, Hi, mom, how are you doing?According to Wallaces testimony, one of the other men cursed at him and said, Get the hell out of here, to which Wallace responded, What the hell is going on? What is wrong with you? Wallace said the next thing he remembered was being hurt on the ground.During cross examination, the focus was on Wallaces actions that night. He said he had four drinks -- two at dinner and two during the concert. He said he wasnt inebriated. He had taken anti-anxiety medication earlier in the day, medication that his prescription indicated he was not supposed to mix with alcohol.Wallace was shown a video where he had trouble identifying people by faces but could make assumptions by physique and the color of clothing, which he said appeared to show him in the group getting punched. He testified he did not start the fight.Another issue brought up by the defense was a 2007 assault charge naming Wallace. Wallace said he was not familiar with the charge, nor with a man named Timothy Wayne Coe. Court records show a 2007 assault charge that was later dismissed in North Carolina with Timothy Coe Wayne as the complainant against Wallace.In other testimony, the arresting police officer indicated that he was told the men charged in the fight acted in self-defense. The police investigation report includes three additional victims, including people with the last name Lucas and Mangum.Nicole Melton, a distant relative of Wallaces who was at the concert but didnt know the Wallaces were there, testified about witnessing the commotion and seeing Wallace on the ground unconscious with a bloody face. She did testify that Wallace was highly aggravated after eventually getting up and going to the ambulance, stating that we need to get that [expletive], meaning the man whom he thought was involved in the fight.The trial will continue Wednesday morning.

SAN DIEGO -- Voters have called the San Diego Chargers bluff, leaving the NFL team to decide whether to try one more time to get a new stadium built here or pack the moving vans for the trip up Interstate 5 to Los Angeles.Measure C, which would have raised $1.15 billion from increased hotel occupancy taxes to help pay for a $1.8 billion stadium and convention center annex downtown, was defeated 57 percent to 43 percent. It needed 66.7 percent yes to pass.The 110-page plan was written by the Chargers without input from City Hall, the powerful tourism industry, their would-be neighbors the Padres or other stakeholders.Team chairman Dean Spanos, who angered fans last year with a failed attempt to join with the rival Oakland Raiders to build a stadium in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson, conceded defeat early Wednesday morning with half of the votes still to be counted. He released a statement Wednesday afternoon saying he wanted to give the stadium debate a rest and enjoy some Chargers football.So Im going to put aside any discussion of our possible next steps until after the season, to allow everyone to focus on football and to give my family and me time to think carefully about what is best for the future of our franchise, Spanos said. Over the coming weeks you may hear news about steps that we must take to preserve all of our options. But please know that I dont intend to make any decisions until after the regular season ends.That means fans could be put in the same position as they were last year, when they thought that the last game of the season might be the Chargers final game in San Diego. The Chargers (4-5) have four home games left, including the finale on Jan. 1 against Kansas City.Spanos has until mid-January to exercise his option to move to L.A. and join the Rams in a stadium in Inglewood set to open in 2019. If the Chargers moved, theyd have to find a temporary home.Or Spanos could negotiate with Mayor Kevin Faulconer and other stakeholders on a new plan in San Diego. The Chargers have been trying since 2000 to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley.While Spanos has said hed like to make it work in San Diego, his surrogates have repeatedly reminded people that the team could move to L.A.Faulconer said that while the vote showed there wasnt support for this particular plan, that a coalition was built during the campaign.San Diegans love the Bolts. They want them to stay, Faulconer said. Theres a foundation that IIm confident can be built up.ddddddddddddaulconer, who endorsed the project only a month ago, said he planned to speak by phone with Spanos later Wednesday or on Thursday.The mayor declined to say whether he prefers a new stadium at the Qualcomm site, which he pushed last year, or downtown.Figuring out how to pay for a new stadium will be one of the significant topics of collaboration, he said. You saw that achieving two-thirds is extremely difficult.City Councilman Chris Cate, who was called out by the Chargers because he opposed the measure, said he hopes Spanos comes to the table sooner rather than later.I understand the value of the Chargers. I was born and raised here, Cate said. I dont want them to leave. But it cant be a one sided affair. People have to be at the table to hammer out a deal that works.County Supervisor Ron Roberts agreed, saying there needs to be a lot of soul-searching in coming up with a stadium solution that benefits everyone, not just the team.I think this was doomed to failure from Day One and its unfortunate because if we had been developing a solution everyone agreed on in Mission Valley, wed likely be under construction by now.After rebuffing Spanos Carson project, his fellow owners offered him an extra $100 million to be coupled with a $200 million NFL loan to try to get something done in San Diego.Theres been speculation that Spanos, who long has said he needs a major public subsidy for a new stadium in San Diego, could ask the NFL for more money, or that he could try to negotiate down the L.A. relocation fee.An NFL spokesman said the league had no comment.Quarterback Philip Rivers said hes trying to stay optimistic.I cant see us not here, Rivers said after practice Wednesday.Maybe Im naive, I dont know that the actual vote is a direct reflection of what the city thinks of the Chargers, Rivers said. I think its more about all the ins and outs and exactly what the measure exactly meant and how people felt like it affected them. I didnt see it as, `Hey, heres a vote; would you like the Chargers in San Diego or not? I didnt see it as that simple. I would like to think if thats the case, we could have gotten two-thirds or more.------Follow Bernie Wilson on Twitter at http://twitter.com/berniewilson---more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
