A retired four-star U.S. Army general was out on bond Tuesday after being taken to the Fayette County jail over the weekend for allegedly ordering Chinese food without paying for it .....
....... Fayetteville police Chief Scott Pitts said that after his order from the Royal Chef restaurant arrived at his home, Livsey tried to pay the driver with a debit card that was declined. When Livsey offered to pay with a check instead, the driver told him checks were not accepted by the restaurant and he would have to take the food back, the police chief said.
That is when Livsey allegedly grabbed the driver's throat and facial hair, pushed him and pinned him against a refrigerator in his kitchen. During the assault, police said, two people in the home took the food, placed it on a counter and began eating it.
Officers went to Livsey's home in the 200 block of Carriage Chase.
As officers tried to handcuff him, Livsey resisted, according to the police chief. The struggle created a small laceration on Livsey's arm. Fayette County EMS was called to the scene to treat the injury and police tried to handcuff Livsey again.
The police chief said Livsey tried "to punch one of the officers and kick another one all while making threatening and disparaging remarks."
The retired commander said there were several guests at his house at the time of the incident. He said he sent his assistant to the restaurant to pay for the food and give the driver a tip. Livsey also said Royal Chef wanted to drop the incident but the Fayetteville police made "a spectacle of it and a spectacle of me." ........

Terrorist threat against cop
He's in his 80's and managed to manhandle a delivery guy like described above?
Something stinks to high heaven about this news story..........
Especially when you consider the alleged victim says that never happened. But we still have FReepers wanting the general prosecuted.
is this guy your father? Why are you defending a blowhard who is too good to cooperate with the police? Ive read the story, my opinion is as valid as yours. If you want to defend a guy who thinks his resume gets him off the hook when he decides to resist arrest, defend him to someone else, I have no interest in what you think or have to say.

What battles are you still fighting in your head?
That's what happens when people don't read past the headline. Sorry to say I've been guilty of that myself in the past --- but not this time! :-)
“...Honestly, I don’t understand why any FReeper would be calling for the general’s head for crimes he didn’t commit. SMDH”

We have some “FReepers” now who absolutely revel in citizens being rough handled by overreacting LEOs. These “FReepers” typically spend their time attacking and denigrating the object(s) of the LEO overreach. It makes be wonder about the bona fides of such people. Of course, some may have simply reacted to incomplete or incorrect information and I try to cut those folk some slack.
