Jane Fonda spitting charges
The Kansas City Star
A Kansas City municipal judge today dismissed a disorderly conduct charge against a Gladstone man who spit in Jane Fonda’s face four months ago.
Police charged Michael Dean Smith after the April 19 incident at Unity Temple on the Plaza, where the actress was signing copies of her memoir. Smith, who served as a Marine in Vietnam in 1970, said he was expressing his anger at Fonda for her actions opposing the Vietnam War.
Smith said shortly after the incident that he planned to plead guilty. But at a court appearance last month, a judge “took the case under advisement” and told Smith he would dismiss the charge if Smith stayed out of trouble.
Smith stood before the judge for less than a minute today as the charge was dismissed. Smith then filled out paperwork to get his $100 bond back.
