MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) — A jury in Moorhead has acquitted a former North Dakota Highway Patrol trooper of domestic assault and child endangerment charges.
The Forum of Fargo, N.D. reports the six-person jury took a little more than an hour Wednesday to find Michael Polomny not guilty after hearing evidence for a day and a half.
Polomny denied hitting or kicking his wife, as she told police after the June 23 argument at their Moorhead home. He said he pushed her only when she tried to prevent him from leaving.
The 41-year-old Polomny was fired from the Highway Patrol after his arrest. He has appealed his dismissal.
