This article by Register Guard is once again incorrect to the situation. I spoke with the arresting officer, and his account was much different. There were people drinking, and things did get out of hand. He said John's charges are minor. As you can see there were no assault charges. If he had done what the paper said, there definitely would be. There were several people pushing and shoving, unfortunately the women did get pushed through the window. 

I personally know this man well and was completely shocked by the article. So so out of character for John. Please be mindful of what you read, and know you're usually not getting the whole story.
