COLUMBUS, Ohio — Cleveland prosecutors will not charge Matthew Fox on a complaint that the star of the former “Lost” television series punched a private bus driver last month.
City spokeswoman Andrea Taylor said in a statement Friday the decision was made “after a thorough review of the facts.” Bus driver Heather Bormann of Cleveland had said Fox hit her early Aug. 28 after she blocked him from boarding a chartered party bus she was driving. She said Fox wanted a ride to his hotel and appeared intoxicated.
Bormann referred a call to her lawyer, J. Norman Stark, who said the city’s decision is a “miscarriage of justice.”
Bormann filed a civil lawsuit against Fox in Cuyahoga County last week. The lawsuit says Fox punched Bormann in the breast, groin, arm and legs, causing injuries that required medical treatment and led to loss of income. The Associated Press
