Vincent Lewis, 63, was charged after Newtown Borough police said he "made contact" with a woman who was putting up flyers related to the death of George Floyd. He was fined $100 per offense, District Judge Michael Petrucci confirmed.

 

[Some people on Facebook see the fines as merely another “slap on the wrist”; “He would have learned more with minority related community service,” said Cathy P.]

 

Lewis, who officials confirmed damaged the woman's phone during the encounter, was also ordered by Judge Petrucci to pay $279 to repair the device.
