Margaret Black - August 10, 2018
Eric Clanton, a former Diablo Valley College professor, accepted a three-year probation deal in connection to an assault at a rally in Berkeley last year, as first reported by Berkeleyside.
According to Berkeleyside, Alameda County Superior Court records indicate that Clanton pleaded no contest on Wednesday to one misdemeanor charge, but his charges of four counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon were dismissed. One charge of great bodily injury was stricken, and one charge of wearing a mask to evade identification in the commission of the crime was dismissed.
Clanton’s probation began Wednesday and will last for three years, until Aug. 8, 2021.
The original incident occurred April 15, 2017, when Clanton allegedly attacked an individual with a bike lock during a rally in Berkeley. The attack was recorded and posted on YouTube.
