I’m shocked, I tell you. Shocked!
You don’t say! 🙀
lmao of course…
That was the important one wasn’t it?
We all knew that family would eventually drop the charges and then drive off quietly in their brand new Ferrari on their way to the bank.
I would hope so. Guy was defending his mom
There’s nothing like a little hush money to save a white boys sports career
DA Withdraws Felony Assault Charge Against Gavin McKenna
Geoff Rushton
Penn State hockey star Gavin McKenna is no longer facing the most serious charge stemming from an altercation in downtown State College on Saturday.
After a review of video evidence, District Attorney Bernie Cantorna is withdrawing the charge of felony aggravated assault against the 18-year-old forward from Yukon, Canada, he said at a press conference Friday in Bellefonte.
“A review of the video does not support a conclusion that Gavin McKenna acted with the intent to cause serious bodily injury or with reckless indifference to the value of human life.
McKenna still faces a misdemeanor charge of simple assault, as well as summary offenses of disorderly conduct and harassment.
According to an affidavit of probable cause, State College police responded on Saturday night to Mount Nittany Medical Center, where a 21-year-old man was hospitalized with a broken jaw after an alleged assault on the 100 block of South Pugh Street.
The man’s jaw was broken on one side, not two, and he did not as initially reported by police, Cantorna said. He had surgery on Monday and will have his jaw wired shut for about two weeks, according to police.
Witnesses said that McKenna punched the man twice in the face “following an exchange of words” between McKenna’s group and the man’s on the 100 block of South Pugh Street. The complaint did not elaborate on what words were exchanged.
Cantorna declined to discuss specifics of the exchange and cautioned that online speculation about the events that led to the altercation were “not accurate.”
A review of street camera footage showed the altercation occurring outside the Pugh Street Parking Garage at about 8:45 p.m. McKenna had been attending an event with they hockey team and their families and friends at Doggie’s Pub, 108 S. Pugh St., prior to the incident.
Cantorna said the man McKenna punched is not facing any charges.
McKenna’s preliminary hearing on the misdemeanor and summary charges is scheduled for Feb. 11.
