If you have enough money and the right lawyers you can pretty much get away with anything.
Case in point.
A jury found John Michael Bowlen, the son of Broncos’ owner Pat Bowlen, guilty Thursday of harassment.
Bowlen, 30, was was sentenced to 24 months of probation with drug/alcohol evaluation, and mental health evaluation and treatment. This was a case related to domestic violence, and the judge order DV treatment and evolution as well.
According to his arrest affidavit, Bowlen’s girlfriend told Glendale police she called 911 to get “help” for Bowlen because he had been drinking alcohol and inhaling “whippets” – slang for nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas — and he started saying he was going to kill someone with whom he’d had prior conflict.
But after the girlfriend told Bowlen she was calling 911 because of his behavior and she went to the bathroom and dialed, he ran after her, grabbed her by the shoulders and shoved her against a wall, and she dropped her cellphone, the affidavit stated.
Police said they found the crying woman in the bathroom with the door closed. She came out with her eyes red and watery and “appeared to be afraid,” an officer wrote in the affidavit.
Bowlen was arrested in 2015 for DWI and pleaded guilty to that as well.
