Paterson Aide Charged With Assault

David W. Johnson, one of Gov. David A. Paterson's closest
aides, surrendered to Bronx prosecutors Thursday morning to
face misdemeanor assault charges, a person briefed on the
matter said.

Mr. Johnson arrived at the office of the Bronx district
attorney shortly before 9:30 a.m. and was expected to be
formally charged later Thursday morning. Mr. Johnson is the
man at the center of a domestic violence scandal that led to
Mr. Paterson's decision not to seek election.

A special investigation into the scandal found that though
Mr. Paterson and his advisers made errors of judgment in
their handling of a domestic violence case involving Mr.
Johnson, their actions were not criminal.
