City of Augusta Charges Mears

Statement of Augusta City Prosecutor Benjamin D. Winters:
After a careful review of the evidence presented through the Augusta Department of
Public Safety’s investigation, which included numerous witness statements as well as video
evidence, the City of Augusta has charged the defendant, Kevin Mears, with Battery, a Class B
misdemeanor, and Disorderly Conduct, a Class C misdemeanor. I would stress that at this point
these charges are merely allegations, and Mr. Mears is presumed innocent until and unless
proven guilty.
