Aide to Paterson Is Charged With Assault
(NYT) — David W. Johnson, one of Gov. David A. Paterson’s closest and longest-serving aides, surrendered to prosecutors in the Bronx on Thursday and was charged with misdemeanor assault and five other offenses, the latest chapter in a domestic violence case that entangled the Paterson administration and led the governor to abandon his candidacy.
Mr. Johnson’s arrest was one of two new developments in the case on Thursday. Several law enforcement officials said the F.B.I. was now investigating the unauthorized access by someone at Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center of the medical records of Sherr-una Booker. Ms. Booker, who has accused Mr. Johnson of assault, went to that hospital hours after her confrontation with him on Oct. 31, 2009.
