Rev. Al Sharpton's ex-wife and daughter are off the hook on charges of obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest, harassment and disorderly conduct, after unleashing a string of curse words at cops in Harlem. Today they received an dismissal of charges, provided they aren't arrested in the next six months (23-year-old Dominique Sharpton was recently involved in an alleged domestic abuse incident), reports the Post. "In America, you have the right to object to police action," said the women's lawyer. "And certainly you should not be arrested and prosecuted for objecting if you've committed no crime."
Officers pulled the pair over for running a stoplight at 110th Street and 8th Avenue late last year. "I have a play to go to -- this is f---ing bullshit!" Dominique allegedly yelled at them. "Get the f--- off me! You can't harass me! Why the f--- am I getting a summons." Her mom allegedly joined in. "Why the f--- are you locking her up! Get your f---ing hands off her," she said. Rev. Al Sharpton came to their defense on Twitter. "It is not illegal to question a traffic ticket or even use profanity," he wrote.
