SF Sheriff Mirkarimi to face domestic violence charges. (Chronicle) [View all]
(01-13) 13:52 PST San Francisco (AP) --
Prosecutors are planning to charge San Francisco's newly sworn-in sheriff with three misdemeanors, including domestic violence, related to a New Year's Eve incident with his wife, a law enforcement source close to the investigation said Friday.
Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi will face one count each of domestic violence battery, child endangerment and dissuading a witness, said the source, who would only speak on the condition of anonymity.
A police affidavit says a neighbor reported that Mirkarimi grabbed and bruised Eliana Lopez's arm during a heated argument at their home.
