oct 26, 2009 - AMBER HEARD
COUNTY PROSECUTOR
LETTER RE ARREST
CHARGES DROPPED
Description:
Amber Heard used the name Amber Van Ree. Beverley Leonard was the arresting officer.
On September 14, 2009, police officers at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport witnessed Ms. Heard physically assault her then-domestic partner, Tasya Van Ree. Ms. Heard grabbed Ms. Van Ree by the arm, hit Ms. Van Ree in the arm, and yanked Ms. Van Ree's necklace off her neck. Me. Heard was arrested.
She was booked for misdemeanour domestic violence, a mug shot was taken of her, and she spent the night in jail.
The following day, the Seattle-cased prosecutor declined to press charges against Ms. Heard, but only because both she and her domestic abuse victim were California residents who were merely passing through Washington state.
Misdemeanour Criminal Battery - Domestic Violence Assault - not charged in Seattle but Judge kept case open on a peace bond for two years.
