LAKEPORT >> The Lake County District Attorney’s Office did not file a felony charge against Jonathan W. Davies, arrested in July on allegations of inflicting corporal injury to an intimate partner.
Although arresting officers from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office listed the incident as a felony, the DA’s office determined the case could not at that time be proved beyond reasonable doubt, according to Deputy District Attorney Daniel Flesch, and opted not to file.
Davies, a physician who admits patients to Sutter Lakeside Hospital, has practiced in obstetrics and gynecology for 21 years with no history of sanctions or board actions against him. He was allegedly involved in a physical dispute on the night of July 13.
Should the DA choose to file a criminal complaint in the matter, Flesch indicated it would be as a misdemeanor offense.
