Domestic battery.

And, if it was a temporary thing, that would be fine. Nothing wrong with a cool off period for such things.

Tbh though, it's Mel Gibson, and the whole stink isn't because someone that was convicted of domestic battery qas petitioning for their right to be un-suspended. The stink is because he's a Trump supporter and wasn't recommended for the suspension to be ended, then the person making the decision gets canned for political reasons, despite having followed procedure during the execution of their duty.

Well, that's the premise of the article.

But, yeah, he did commit domestic battery, and he pled guilty to the charge to avoid jail time, because all evidence showed him guilty.

Beyond that, I'd just be summarizing the whole article, and it's a gift link, so there's no point
