Not So Bad Minton

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

District 15 City-County Councilor Doris Minton Mcneil was acquitted this afternoon of four counts of resisting arrest and shoving a police officer following an incident when she was allegedly intoxicated at her home in June 2008.

Judge Annie Christ-Garcia did not comment as to why Minton-McNeil was acquitted but it probably didn’t hurt that Christ-Garica is a Democrat who got elected in 2008, who by the way is sitting on a big potential controversy.  McNeil was a Democrat and her attorney Mark Sullivan was a Democrat who ran against Virgina Cain in 2003.

You can read the original arrest report and hear the edited  911 call that started  whole thing here and the court’s ruling .
