Shove a cop, go to jail

Even if you are a pastor. Phillip S. Hodge was convicted of three counts of aggravated battery to a police officer. He could be looking at serious jail time.

Hodge, 48, was found guilty of shoving one officer and throwing another onto the hood of a squad car after police stopped his stepson in the 500 block of Edison Avenue for a loud music violation.

What a dumb thing to shove a cop for. He must of lost his temper. I’ve already learned the don’t lose you temper with a cop rule, precisely for this reason. You would think a 48-year old might have learned this life lesson sometime along the way.

Did I mention that Hodge was really dumb to assault a cop?

Because Hodge had previous felony convictions for aggravated robbery and burglary, he is eligible for an extended term of six to 30 years in prison when sentenced Sept. 10.

I don’t thing he’ll be getting probation.
