Columbus Division of Police

Prosecutors have dropped assault charges against a Reynoldsburg teacher accused of attacking a Columbus police officer. 

Prosecutors cite a lack of evidence in the case against 26-year-old Justin McDowell, who was placed on paid leavefrom Waggoner Road Junior High School  in November. Prosecutors said McDowell punched an officer who responded to a crash involving McDowell's vehicle at Hamilton Road and State Route 161.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
