NEW TRIAL DATE IS SET FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER

A new trial date has been set for  the Washington County, Tennessee school board member who is accused of violating an order of protection. David Hammond's new trial date is August 7 at 9 a.m. His trial was initially set for April 8 but was continued due to COVID-19. The August date was set because a new prosecutor was assigned by the district attorney's office. Hammond was arrested and charged with domestic assault in March 2019, after he was accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend. He was indicted in December 2019 on a charge of violation of protection, but not on a domestic assault charge.
