No criminal assault charges against Matthew Fox in Cleveland

A few weeks ago, a drunken Matthew Fox repeatedly punched a female bus driver after she wouldn’t let him get on her bus, which had been leased for a private party. Or, at least, that was the bus driver’s account of what happened.

Prosecutors started an investigation, but according to ABC News, they decided not to press charges.

The latest info adds bizarre new details to what was already a strange story. The bus driver has filed a civil suit against Matthew Fox for assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The bus driver’s attorney said,”If he had just sent a dozen roses or something like that, this would have been all over.”

Say what?

The attorney also said that he believes Fox is receiving preferential treatment because he is a star — and that he (the attorney) has photos of the bus driver’s injuries.

There were also witnesses at the scene. Police had detained and handcuffed Fox at the time, but then let him go without arresting him.
