CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) - Prosecutors have dropped a domestic violence case against the husband of a top aide to Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports (https://bit.ly/2eAE7TI ) that District Attorney Neal Pinkston filed a motion on Friday to drop charges against Bobby Stone, the husband of Berke adviser Lacie Stone, stemming from a May altercation over a mobile phone.
Pinkston said in his motion that Bobby Stone hadn’t been read his Miranda rights before he was interviewed by police and that Lacie Stone made “inconsistent” statements about the incitement.
