David BrooksA suspended Chattanooga fire captain must stay out of trouble for one year to have his assault charge dismissed.
David Lebron Brooks Jr., 40, was arrested on June 3 after police say he and his daughter, Jasmine Brooks, 21, got into a scuffle that ended up on the floor of their home.
On Tuesday, Hamilton County General Sessions Judge Clarence Shattuck allowed a plea agreement to suspend the sentence rather than impose jail time. If Brooks has no other criminal charges in the next year, the charge will be dismissed.
Shattuck preserved a “no-contact order” for Brooks, preventing him from interacting with his daughter during the next year.
During the incident, Jasmine Brooks sustained a laceration to her head, while her father had scratches on his face, according to an arrest report.
