Lance Lewis, 14, was acquitted of charges of disorderly conduct and felony battery on a police officer Thursday in the incident.
What, pray tell was young master Lewis' crime?
In April, Lance jokingly blew a kiss at Bradenton Beach Police part-time officer Timothy E. Matthews at Coquina Beach. Matthews confronted the boy. During questioning, Lance reportedly cursed at Matthews. According to reports: Matthews decided to arrest the Tampa boy for disorderly conduct because children nearby may have heard the profanity. The officer put Lewis, who had a cast on his right arm, into a headlock and wrestled him to the ground.
