December 2005.Murfreesboro Police Officer John Riley Singleton was scheduled for court on an aggravated assault charge that he held a rifle on his wife and threatened to kill her. The court struck a deal instead, no doubt so he could keep his job - follow some "requirements" and the case may be dismissed and his record expunged in June(Poof!). Don't follow the requirements and it "may" be prosecuted. The "agreement": Obey the law, refrain from any contact with his ex-wife, work, & pay court costs. After court his ex asked, "Does this mean he's going back on the street?"
I call for a moment of silence.
Officer Singleton has been disciplined TWICE BEFORE - for "fighting"(?) with his previous wife and for slapping his daughter.
