Matthew Fox Won’t Face Charges Over Bus Brawl, Will Face Civil Suit
Matthew Fox can breathe a little easier as the actor just found out criminal charges will not be filed over an alleged party bus brawl that happened in Cleveland at the end of August.
At the time, the 45 year-old actor who was said by witnesses to be inebriated, was attempting to board a private party bus and was denied access by the van’s driver, Heather Bormann.
Bormann and witnesses told officers that Fox punched her in the stomach, groin and chest.
The spokesman for the city, Andrea Taylor said the district attorney decided not to pursue the matter against the LOST actor “after a thorough review of the facts.”
Bormann, a single mother of three, filed a civil suit against the actor on Tuesday and her attorney, J. Norman Stark said he thought Fox got away without being charged because he was famous.
This was an unprovoked attack on a woman, with no provocation, by a man,” Stark said. “According to Ohio law, that is assault.”
Stark says he has pictures of injuries Bormann sustained from the incident and believes that Fox is receiving “preferential treatment because he is who he is – an actor.”
In the civil suit, Bormann is asking for a reported $25,000 – $75,000 in damages.
