The domestic assault charge against the volunteer Chattanooga police chaplain accused of threatening his wife with a knife was dismissed in court Wednesday.
Gregory Collins, 60, was arrested April 10 and charged with domestic aggravated assault. According to an arrest report, his wife told police he had become increasingly confrontational and made threats while the two were in the process of a divorce.
On March 22, he was recorded on video allegedly pointing a knife at his wife and telling her to keep a possible application he sent to the East Ridge Police Department a secret, according to an arrest report.
The arrest report said the wife feared for her life and waited until April 2 to report the incident, as that date is when she said she was able to find a safe place to do so.
In court Wednesday, Hamilton County General Sessions Judge Tori Smith said prosecutor Miller Leonard moved to dismiss the case. Smith then advised Collins how to handle his GPS monitor and where to find the expungement office.
