Police: Bears fan gets throat slashed in Fla. bar

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a Chicago Bears fan from Lake Villa who went to the Bears-Jaguars football game had his throat slashed inside a bar.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says 42-year-old William C. "Chris" Pettry died early Sunday inside Fionn MacCool's, an Irish-themed restaurant at The Jacksonville Landing.

Twenty-seven-year-old Matthew Hinson is being held without bond on a murder charge. Jacksonville Jail records didn't list an attorney for Hinson.
