Chris Cagle found not guilty in domestic assault
Friday, July 25, 2008 – Chris Cagle was found not guilty of a domestic assault charge Thursday in Nashville after his girlfriend refused to testify against him.
Cagle and Jennifer Tant were charged with domestic violence after being embroiled in a fight in which alcohol was involved on May 28. Tant refused to testify on the grounds of self-incrimination, and charges against her were dropped. Police had testified she had a slight cut on her upper lip and marks on her arm.
Cagle's attorney Bill Ramsey said, "It's a shame these charges were ever brought. Period. Chris was not, and never was, guilty of domestic violence, abuse or assault and the judge properly found him 'not guilty.' Chris is relieved the accuracy of the matter has been revealed, and the ordeal is over."
Cagle still faces a court date in Tucson, Ariz. in September involving an alleged fight with the boyfriend of a fan.
