McKees Rocks Man Gets Simple Assault Case Withdrawn

A 38-year-old man from McKees Rocks was charged with a 2nd degree misdemeanor simple assault. The charge came after he and his wife had been arguing over care for their 8-year-old son with special needs. Hearing yelling and objects being thrown, the neighbors called 911.

At the preliminary hearing, the district attorney’s office offered our client to withdraw all charges under one condition, he must complete domestic abuse counseling. Our client did not want any part in this course. Attorney Samir Sarna suggested a 90 day cool-down period. After 90 days and no negative police contact, the charge could be withdrawn. During this time our client did not get into any further trouble and the case was dismissed.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
