Charged! Student Faces Trial for Assulting a DOTS Officer!

There are many ways to contest your ticket legally. This is definitely not one of them.
Police charged a 31-year-old student with felony first-degree assault Friday for his alleged role in shoving a parking enforcement officer to the ground during a dispute over a traffic ticket, University Police said.

The student, whom police identified as Gaithersburg resident Eugene Paul Krevinko, could face a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison if convicted of the charge. First-degree assault is the most serious charge police could file for this type of incident.
Now Toni Richardson, the DOTS parking officer won't be able go to her jobs.
Richardson said she has not been able to return to work because her broken elbow interferes with driving the Transportation Services truck she uses to patrol parking lots, and she has been unable to return to her second job at Wawa on Knox Road, an employee said last night. Richardson said Thursday she will also file civil charges against Krevinko.
If I were a judge, instead of sending Mr. Krevinko to prison for possibly 25 years, I would order him to work the same job Ms. Richardson had as community service. 100% of the pay that would be payed to him would be sent to her directly until she is able to get back on the job.

Hi, Jkid. Nobody catches a first degree assault charge for just an allegation of a shove in Maryland. Either it was a lot more than a shove, or it wasn't and somebody is lying. 1st degree assault requires intent to do serious bodily harm or the use of a handgun (e.g. pistol whipping.) Busting someone in the mouth with a closed fist doesn't cut it. 1st degree assault charges are relatively rare in MD; probably 100 of the second degree assault cases for every 1st degree case.

All the best.

hello, do u even have his side of the story? basically right now this is a he said she said argument and we haven't even heard this man's side of the story. and I agree most assualts on officers are usually involving a weapon. so before u condemn someone get the facts straight. someone here is lying and we don't know who it is yet.
and she may have a bad job but how do u know she is not the gold digger here?
