HUNTINGTON BEACH, Orange County - An Orange County high-profile homicide prosecutor was arrested on Christmas day. David Brent and his wife, Roshawn were arrested for domestic violence.
Mr. Brent fought with and punched Roshawn's face. Allegedly, the fight began over a gift. Scared, she called 911. Mr. Brent fled the scene. Both David Brent and his wife were arrested for corporal injury on a spouse. They were transported to Huntington Beach jail. They currently face felony domestic violence charges.
Both parties are charged with California Penal Code Section 273.5 (willful infliction of corporal injury). California law defines a spouse as a former spouse, cohabitant, and the mother or father of a child. Corporal injury refers to a wound, either internal or external caused by serious force. The wound can be of a minor or serious nature.
If this is Mr. Brent's first felony the penalties range from prison, county jail, to a fine. Mr. Brent's maximum prison sentence would be four years. If sentenced to county jail, time served would be less than a year. In rare cases, a fine, up to $6,000 would be paid.
