No Jail Time For Driver Who Hit Protesters

The man charged with driving his car through a Columbus Day protest last year has been found guilty, but will serve no time in jail. 18-year-old Nick Mahaffey plead guilty to provoking an assault and was sentenced to 14 weeks of anger management and 120 hours of community service. He could face 180 days in jail if he breaks any laws in the next two years. Mahaffey and his passenger were assaulted last October after driving by the Columbus Day demonstration and shouting expletives. After getting punched, Mahaffey drove his truck through the crowd blocking Virginia Street.
