Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan declined to press charges Sunday in a case reported Saturday by State Police involving an alleged incident involving a district justice candidate supporter allegedly trying to run down with a car an opponent’s supporter earlier this month.
According to a release from the State Police, “this case was brought to the attention of the Chester County District Attorney‘s Office, which declined to approve charges against the suspect.”
Hogan’s decision not to pursue charges is the latest chapter in the nastiest District Justice race in recent memory in District 15-4-04 (West Grove and Avondale boroughs, West Marlborough, London Grove, Franklin, London Britain, and New Garden townships) between incumbent Matthew Seavey and challenger Nicole Morley, both Republicans.
Initially, State Police reported Saturday they were investigating an incident claiming a supporter of Seavey was allegedly nearly run down by a silver or light blue Infinity with a Morley sign on it in Franklin Township, on May 8. Update: Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan declined to press charges.
