Police complete their investigation of domestic assault allegations
The Dover (Delaware) Police Department said Tuesday that its investigation of NASCAR driver Kurt Busch is complete, with the case’s next phase in the hands of the county’s attorney general, according to a statement released by the department.
The department announced Nov. 7 that it was investigating allegations of domestic assault against the 36-year-old driver. The matter was brought to the attention of the Dover Police two days earlier.
Tuesday morning, Dover Police said the attorney general would determine the next course in the two-month-old case.
“The Dover Police Department completed the investigation of Kurt Busch a few weeks ago and has since forwarded their findings along with all evidence and statements to the Kent County Attorney General’s Office,” the department said in a statement. “Their office will review the findings of investigation and make a decision whether Mr. Busch will be charged or not.”
Busch, the 2004 champion of NASCAR’s premier series, qualified for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup last season in his first year with Stewart-Haas Racing. Busch, who eclipsed the 500-start plateau last year, wound up 12th in the 2014 standings.
