This is more than a case of pushing someone.Battery, in most states, is any unwanted touching. Misdemeanor battery or simple battery (which is what he was charged with) is unwanted touching that does NOT cause serious injury.
Y'all act like you never pushed someone off of you that got in your face.
That's her testimony. He was not charged with felony battery. That tells me the evidence doesn't support that charge (not saying it did or didn't happen that way). My comment is just a simple statement about how quick people are to judge when they truly don't know the truth.This is more than a case of pushing someone.
According to the affidavit, Sutton and a woman got into an argument at about 4:45 a.m. on March 7. The address where the incident took place is redacted from the document due to Marsy’s Law, but the sheriff’s office has previously said the incident occurred at Sutton’s home in Lutz.
Sutton and the woman, 35, have been dating for about seven years and have three children in common, according to the affidavit. The Tampa Bay Times is not naming the woman in this story because authorities say she is a domestic violence victim.
During the argument, Sutton picked up the woman and slammed her into a wall, then bit her on the neck, leaving a quarter-sized abrasion that bled, the affidavit states. Sutton then grabbed the woman by the face and neck and choked her, causing her to briefly lose consciousness, according to the affidavit.
**Note** 3rd degree felony
I think the “on the run” storyline was a little overblown. Sutton has a place in FL and a place in Detroit. After the blowup with his girlfriend in FL, he left for Detroit. I think he stayed there while his lawyer worked out an agreement for him to return and face the reduced charges. Not defending strangling your girlfriend and his statement is narcissistic, but it may be good to wait for the court to sort out the facts.LoL. Why run if Innocent?
I’m a victim of domestic violence myself. I’ve been both bitten and strangled until I passed out. If he were innocent, he wouldn’t have fled the scene and been on the run. Kick rocks.Were you there? Did you see it happen? I'm not saying he did or didn't do it. I'm just saying innocent until proven guilty. People lie sometimes. Ask AJ Johnson. You probably assumed he was guilty too though...
