The prosecution offered a resolution Monday in
its case against a Danville man, who is accused of attacking police and
who has accused police of brutality. Robbie Houston, 43, will be back
in Boyle District Court 1:30 p.m. Nov. 1. His Frankfort attorney,
Willie Peale, asked the court Monday that Houston and his family be
given time to consider the deal, the details of which were not
disclosed. Houston has said that while being arrested in June officers
treated him roughly, and he had to defend himself. He said he was hit
with a metal baton, sprayed with chemicals, punched and kneed. He also
said that a police officer drove his cruiser into another vehicle while
trying to take him to jail. Houston has been charged with four felony
counts of assaulting a police officer, and three misdemeanors,
resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief.[more ]
