The officer in question went to "rehab" until March 5 and was originally charged with a misdemeanor. After the video surfaced the State Attorney General assumed the case and upgraded the charges to a felony. Be interesting to see how this plays out.

Can this really happen???

If the case was already adjudicated, and the police officer went to rehab (possibly by order of the court) how can they (AG) upgrade the charges just because the video made it to a wider audience???

Punished, but not punished enough??? hmmmmm???

6 weeks is really not enough time to adjudicate the case. I bet the officer did rehab and the demand of his department or the advice of his attorney to show that he is working on his problem (works for celebrities). Charges can be changed anytime before trial.

We both agreed that once that guy stepped behind the bar that all bets were off. I'm ticked that it took so long for the other patrons to get involved. I was raised "Old School", if a man lays a hand on a woman he gets put on the ground before he can blink.
