The Facts:
Johnson faces a December date in Kansas City Municipal Court on a charge of simple assault. The municipal violation, filed early last month, stemmed from an incident on Feb. 24, 2008, in which a 26-year-old woman accused Johnson, 28, of using his open hand to push the left side of her head, according to court and police documents obtained by The Star.

So, for the third time since becoming a Chief, Johnson is in a scrape with the law. The Chiefs also had no comment; Johnson’s lawyer, Kevin E.J. Regan, said Monday that his client had done nothing inappropriate and expects to be vindicated at trial. The charge came more than six months after the alleged assault because the investigation was worked around other, more pressing assault cases, a police spokesman said. If convicted, Johnson could be sentenced to up to six months in jail and a $500 fine.
