D.C. prosecutors dropped assault charges over the weekend against the two firefighters who were accused of hitting a man who instigated a chaotic street brawl.
The union for D.C.’s firefighters, IAFF Local 36, released a statement Sunday celebrating the decision by prosecutors not to pursue the case against Lt. Sean Sinon, 48, and rookie Reden Ecleo, 21.
In June, D.C. prosecutors charged Mr. Sinon and Mr. Ecleo with beating a 43-year-old man during the April street fight on Florida Avenue NW. The man became aggressive with firefighters while they were assisting the two individuals. He then “struck Lt. Sinon … twice in the face with a closed fist, unprovoked,” according to court documents.
