« Tiverton School Committee, teachers to resume talks | Today | Gas prices level off after falling 7 weeks » September 10, 2007Paz scheduled for trial today on assault chargeFormer boxer Vinny Paz is scheduled for trial today on misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct charges at Kent County District Court. The 44-year-old Cranston native turned himself in in July after police found the alleged victim – Paz’s girlfriend -- Ashley P. Spencer of Maine, bloody-nosed and crying near Paz’s home at 54 Tivoli Court. In a statement released after he turned himself in, the boxer said of domestic abuse, “I don’t like it … I am against it and I don’t do it. I never have and never will … This has been the worst month of my life because of this accusation. I am known for beating up world champion fighters, never women." The five-time boxing world champion pleaded no contest to a drunken-driving charge in July after Warwick Police found his yellow Jeep parked, engine running, at a gas station. Paz was asleep behind the wheel. He was sentenced to 60 hours of community service and substance-abuse treatment. The Warwick resident changed his legal name from Vincent E. Pazienza to Vinny Paz four years ago. He has worked as a TV sports commentator and endorsed a number of products since his retirement from boxing in 2004.

Jim | September 10, 2007 4:43 PM link I'm sure the woman beat herself up, then shoved her arm into Vinny's mouth thereby causing the teeth marks. That's what usually happens in domestic assault cases. Frank | September 10, 2007 9:26 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil. Vicious comments, personal attacks and profanity won't be published.
