No Trial for a Marshall City Commissioner

MARSHALL – A Marshall City Commissioner will not be prosecuted after being arrested for disrupting a town hall forum. Michael Mitchell was arrested late last month during a meeting hosted by the Marshall Police Department, No Colors No Labels Initiative and Marshall Against Violence. Harrison County District Attorney Coke Solomon said after viewing all evidence in the case, including videos, his office has no choice but to refuse criminal charges against Mitchell. In a news release, Solomon said he had no alternative to conclude that Mitchell’s comments, “while unpopular,” did not have the intent to prevent or disrupt the town hall meeting. Mitchell was booked into the Harrison County Jail after being accused of disrupting the meeting. He posted bond the next day.
