At 1:49 on November 23, 2019, RICHARD STANLEY PETKOVSEK allegedly tried to start a fight with a bouncer, cursed him out, cursed out police officers and resisted arrest by St. Augustine Police Officers last year, walking away from them and refusing to provide his ID and slapping the hand of one of the officers, stating, "Don't touch me."
PETLOVSEK first had a public defender assigned after telling the judge he was indigent.
The Public Defender recused himself and the Regional Conflict Counsel was assigned.
Then, St. Johns Law Group lawyer Mark E. Lewis was on the case.
No reason was given for the dismissal of all the charges.
I have requested all documents today.
Like several of his prosecutorial predecessors, 7th Circuit State's Attorney RALPH JOSEPH LARIZZA refuses to comply with, adopt or distribute the National District Attorneys Association National Prosecution Standards, which makes case-fixing easier.
At the Flagler County Sheriff's Office, PETKOVSEK was suspended for 190 hours without pay after the arrest, given one year of disciplinary probation, required to apologize meaningfully to all of the officers and police agencies involved, and ordered never to enter the White Lion again.
The Flagler County Sheriff's office documents show that the suspension has been completed.
They also show that Flagler County understood that there would be a deferred prosecution agreement, but in fact LARIZZA dropped the case through a nolle prosequi, long before the one year term of the agreement, without any explanation as to why.
You tell me.
Why didn't LARIZZA recuse himself?
Flagler County is part of the 7th Judicial District, and LARIZZA has previously recused himself from other cases from alleged lawbreaking lawmen.
Did LARIZZA once again violate the Fourteenth Amendment and NDAA standards by dispensing unequal justice?
What if it were you?

Here's the docket, without any filing of the deferred prosecution agreement, and no open court announcement of the nolle prosequi:
