i_am_the_swammi Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 This dude ain't right, either....could just be someone looking for some cash, but charges have been filed: Chiefs' Larry Johnson faces assault charge for third time KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson has been charged with simple assault for allegedly pushing a woman at a Kansas City nightclub in February, the third time he has faced assault charges against a woman. Johnson, 28, was charged last month for a Feb. 24 incident at the Grand Emporium Saloon. A 26-year-old woman accused Johnson of pushing the side of her head with an open hand, telling her "don't touch me" as he made his way through the club. Johnson is due to appear in Kansas City Municipal Court on Dec. 3 and faces a maximum jail term of six months and a $500 fine. The Chiefs had no comment and Johnson was not available Tuesday, an off day for the players. Johnson's attorney, Kevin E.J. Regan, was in court Tuesday morning and not available for comment. Capt. Rich Lockhart, spokesman for the Kansas City Police Department, said the charges were filed more than six months after the incident because the investigation worked around more pressing assault cases and detectives had trouble locating a witness. Johnson was charged with felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor domestic battery in 2003 for allegedly waving a gun during an argument with a former girlfriend at his home. The charges were later dropped when he agreed to a domestic violence diversion program. Charges against Johnson in 2005 were dropped after a woman who had accused him of pushing her to the ground at a Kansas City bar decided not to press charges and failed to appear in three court hearings.

Eagle2003 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 This is bogus. Why wait 6 months after the fact? Also, who couldn't pick Johnson out a lineup? She probably needs money to pay her mortgage. This is going NOWHERE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 This is bogus. Why wait 6 months after the fact? Also, who couldn't pick Johnson out a lineup? She probably needs money to pay her mortgage. This is going NOWHERE. I thought the same thing, though for the police to actually file charges means there is some merit to the accusations. Also, from the article: Capt. Rich Lockhart, spokesman for the Kansas City Police Department, said the charges were filed more than six months after the incident because the investigation worked around more pressing assault cases and detectives had trouble locating a witness.

boomboom71 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Sometimes I wish he could push a defender or two out of the way and get more than 2 yards in a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
