State Rep. Martin Daniel was formally booked today on a misdemeanor assault charge stemming from an incident last month in which he allegedly shoved his Republican primary opponent Steve Hall during an on-air radio forum. Daniel went on to win the primary and faces Democrat Brandi Price in the general election. According to Knoxnews, Daniel says he offered Hall a “heartfelt and sincere” apology and was surprised by the assault charge.
