FULL TEXT BELOW:
Allen County prosecutors have charged a Fort Wayne police officer with domestic battery, but it is not a felony case.
Officer Anthony Scatena is accused of grabbing a woman by the throat in his home on Highgate place back on November 17th, and striking her in the head several times during an argument.
Scatena told investigators the woman pulled a knife on him, but his account of what happened changed during follow-up interviews.
Scatena has been suspended since the incident.
Officers convicted of felonies automatically lose their job, because felons are barred from carrying a weapon, but there could still be disciplinary consequences for Scatena even though the charge is only a misdemeanor. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
