David Allan Lacey was allowed to enter a diversion program last May to resolve the misdemeanor case that originated when he pointed a gun at Black Lives Matter protesters at his home.
misdemeanor gun case
In a statement shortly after the May 2021 hearing, David Lacey’s attorney said, “We maintain David’s innocence. He was protecting his wife and family from protesters the night of the incident. This diversion allows David to avoid the risks of a jury trial. We are happy the judge and the attorney general agreed diversion was appropriate.”
“This is not a circumstance of a distraught husband protecting his family,” Douglas told the judge during the hearing in April 2021. Members of Black Lives Matter who took part in the protest immediately condemned David Lacey’s actions. Activist Jasmyne Cannick posted the video online and sent links to local media outlets.
On Twitter, Abdullah alleged David Lacey “pointed a gun at my chest and said `I will shoot you.”‘ She noted last year that the counts filed against him are “misdemeanors, but charges nonetheless.”
