TAMPA, FL -- Prosecutors have decided to drop charges against former wrestler and County Commissioner Brian Blair.
Assistant State Attorney Pam Bondi said her office would not seek charges against Blair, but did not offer any further explanation. She did say a formal written memo would be released later today.
Blair, 52, was arrested at his home on North Boulevard on Father's Day shortly after he allegedly got into a scuffle with his two teenage boys.
Blair ran his political campaigns on a family values, law and order platform. Blair was charged with two counts of child abuse/domestic violence, both third-degree felonies.
Blair was elected to the Hillsborough County commission in 2004, but lost a re-election bid in 2008 to Kevin Beckner. |
