Seattle prosecutors on Wednesday dropped a misdemeanor charge that former celebrity chief executive Dan Price grabbed a woman’s throat after attempting kiss her, citing problems in proving their case, court records show. FOX13
for raising employees’ salaries and slashing his own while he ran Gravity Payments, a credit card processing company. He resigned from the company last summer after being charged with fourth-degree assault and reckless driving in February 2022."Now that these false allegations are behind me, I plan to take some time to reflect on how I can best engage on the economic justice issues that matter most to me," Price said in a statement emailed by his lawyer.
Seattle prosecutors said Price cornered the woman in his Tesla after a dinner meeting, tried to kiss her and grabbed her throat when she refused. Price then drove her to a parking lot, tried to kiss her again and drove "doughnuts" with her in the car, prosecutors said. The woman also said she had sometimes interacted with men who sent flirtatious messages on Instagram because they"end up commissioning a huge painting" of her artwork, and that she hoped to capitalize on Price’s connections, Middaugh said in the legal filing.
