Lawyer Faces Charges for Assaulting Woman, Reportedly Pretends to Have Seizure When Arrested
A local defense attorney got arrested at a North Carolina law office after allegedly assaulting a woman Monday, Law&Crime reported.
Mary Leazer Rogers, 53, allegedly initiated a violent dispute over suspicions of a personal relationship between the victim and one of Rogers’ clients, according to Law&Crime. Officers arrived on the scene to discover a woman with facial injuries, including blood and scratches. The argument escalated when Rogers allegedly punched the victim multiple times in the face.
The situation intensified as police took Rogers into custody. She reportedly kicked one officer in the leg and spit in the face of another. Rogers continued to resist by lying down in the police car and refusing to sit up. Despite officers’ efforts to manage her, Rogers threw herself out of the vehicle and onto the ground, screaming and causing a public disturbance, the outlet stated.
