Mayor Will Wynn formally pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor assault charge Tuesday, stemming from a 2006 incident where he physically ejected purported party crasher Luke Johnson from his Downtown condo; in a signed statement, Johnson described the "contact as offensive and provocative."

Wynn posted $500 bond, paid $68 in court costs, and pending 20 hours of community service or private counseling between now and May, should have the charge dismissed.

Said Wynn in a statement to the press, "I pled no contest to a Class C misdemeanor from 2006. I'm glad that this process has been resolved, and I of course will comply with the judge's order and have this charge dismissed."
