William D. Statom, the Delaware County GOP official who hit IN-06 Democratic candidate Barry Welsh, has been charged with battery resulting in bodily injury. Statom hit Welsh as Welsh was trying to intervene after Statom assaulted a Muncie Star Press reporter, apparently because he was upset at some recent coverage concerning a voter registration meeting.
Hah. Misdemeanor, and the prosecutor didn’t charge with an assault component.
I guess they’re buddies, at least of the ideological sort. I mean, the liberal media was just getting what was coming to it, no?
Prediction: Statom won’t serve even a day in jail.
