James ReynoldsA judge agreed today to dismiss an assault case against the “Voice of the Mocs” announcer who was charged earlier this month with choking his 12-year-old daughter during an argument.
Assistant District Attorney Alan Dunn said there wasn’t sufficient probable cause to continue prosecuting James Reynolds for the Aug. 2 incident. Dunn said he interviewed Reynolds’ daughter and received evidence that showed “an independent source” contributed to the marks the officer saw that night.
Police went to a possible domestic violence call on Flagstone Drive around 9 p.m. on Aug. 2 and found a woman standing with two children on the edge of the road, court records show.
The woman said her husband, Reynolds, grabbed his daughter, pushed her against the couch and choked her by the throat during an argument.
An officer noted red marks around the girl’s neck and back consistent with the story provided, but Reynolds denied grabbing or choking the girl. He was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and aggravated child abuse.
