Misdemeanor charges against Stratford school superintendent dismissed, attorney says

Misdemeanor charges against Dr. Uyi Osunde, a Stratford school superintendent, have been dismissed, according to his attorney.

Osunde was arrested in November for a domestic dispute at his home.

Osunde's attorney released a statement saying in part, "In summarily disposing the charges, the state questioned the actions of the purported victim who admitted she was not afraid of him and did not want him arrested. Ultimately the state agreed with Dr. Osunde that the misdemeanor charge should not have been brought, in light of the true circumstances."
