From the Indianapolis Star;
Former Indianapolis Mayor Stephen Goldsmith was forced to resign Aug. 4 as deputy mayor of New York City because he had been arrested for assaulting his wife Margaret.
Goldsmith and his wife issued a statement this morning denying that any crime was committed, despite the detailed police report from Washington, D.C., police about the July 30 incident for which Goldsmith spent two days locked up in jail. No charges were filed as Mrs. Goldsmith would not pursue charges.
