Quakertown teen avoids felony charge after ICE protest confrontation with borough police chief

One of five teenagers charged with aggravated assault after a February confrontation with Quakertown’s police chief amid a protest over ICE enforcement will avoid a felony conviction under an agreement reached in juvenile court Friday, his attorney said. The agreement places the 16-year-old boy in a diversionary program to resolve two remaining misdemeanor charges of simple assault and disturbing the peace. If the teen completes the program — which requires 20 hours of community service and counseling — the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office will move to expunge the charges, said his lawyer, Donald Souders.
