Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price won't face charges after allegedly assaulting a woman at a polling place, police report says
A Dallas woman is claiming that Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price assaulted her while she was working at a polling place on Election Day.
According to the Dallas Police Department, officers met Cynthia Stairs at the Frank Crowley Courthouse parking lot on the evening of May 5 as she was filing a police report.
Stairs told police that Price assaulted her at polling place on May 3, according to a police report.
She said she was scheduled to work at the polling place, a church in Dallas, as an elections alternate judge for the Republican party.
Stairs told police that she was supposed to work with Diana Jackson, who she said she doesn't have the best relationship with. Jackson left the polling place and after she left, Stairs said she noticed a large Black man approaching her with a "demonic look on his face."
According to the police report, the man approached Stairs, smacked her phone out of her hand and yelled at her, demanding that she leave the location.
Stairs told police she was afraid of being hit by the man again, so she left the polling place. The man was later identified as Price.
DPD said there was nothing illegal based on the footage they have of the incident, and they did not issue Price a citation.

A 39-year-old man was arrested Thursday after allegedly kidnapping his ex-girlfriend at gunpoint and forcing her into her vehicle, according to the Opa-locka Police Department. The victim, who ended her year-long relationship with Talmadge Newry a week prior, was held against her will until employees at a local business discovered her plea for help, police said.

The two drove around for hours, eventually stopping at a restaurant on Pembroke Road, where the vehicle's battery died, police said. Newry then drove to Battery Max, located in the 13800 block of NW 27th Ave., Opa-Locka, where he allegedly pulled the victim's shorts down to her knees to prevent her from fleeing, according to the victim's statement to police. Note leads to arrest While at Battery Max, the victim wrote a note saying, "HELP ME PLEASE," and dropped it outside the passenger door, as the vehicle's dead battery prevented her from lowering the window, police said.
