AUBURNDALE, Fla. - After a 10-month investigation, the state attorney general's office charged the current Auburndale city manager with battery.
The backstory:
According to the State Attorney's investigative report, on the evening of December 21, City Manager Jeffrey Tillman was visibly intoxicated at "The Brack Shack" bar in Auburndale.
The report states that he put his arm around an 18-year-old waitress's waist, pulled her close, and kissed her on the forehead without her consent.
Because the incident wasn't reported until April this year, video surveillance footage of what happened wasn't available. However, after interviewing multiple witnesses, the chief investigator found there was enough probable cause to charge Tillman with battery, which is a misdemeanor.
