Newly Elected Commissioner Facing Charges
Posted By J.T. on November 10, 2010
Herschel Young (Republican), recently elected as Presiding Commissioner of Cass County, has been charged with 2 counts of assault after an incident at a Mud Run in Garden City.
From the Kansas City Star:
On Nov. 23, Young is scheduled to appear on charges that he assaulted a teenage boy at a “mud run” by throwing him to the ground and trying to kiss the boy on the mouth.
According to court documents, Young, 43, admitted he did “grab the victim by the arm and attempted to kiss him.”
Young told KCTV5 that that he vehemently denies the charges and said he believes the case is politically motivated. He said the fact the alleged incident happened in June, but is now being brought to light just days after the election, raises some flags.
