State Rep's Son Charged With Assaulting Police

Lovely.

Samuel Perzel, son of state Rep. John M. Perzel, R-Philadelphia, was arrested last week for allegedly assaulting a female Philadelphia police officer.

Perzel, 18, was in a rowdy crowd of 50 to 75 people who had gathered on 2nd Street near Tasker in South Philadelphia about midnight Nov. 18, according to police records obtained by the Daily News.

Police were called to the intersection to break up several small fights and to move the crowd along.

When Officer Melissa Curcio tried to arrest Perzel after he ignored repeated warnings to disperse, the teen - who "had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath" - allegedly punched Curcio in the face, the records show. (H/T - The Philadelphia Daily News)

So, not only was Sammy Boy most likely an underage sot, but he's also a puss-aah for punching a woman, cop or no. I'd like to think this tool would get a halfway decent fine and/or sentence, but considering the judicial system in Philadelphia, and considering Daddy will probably save his arse, I see no punishment in Sammy's future.

Welcome to Philadelphia.
