On Tuesday the Dover (DE) Police Department concluded its investigation into the domestic assault allegations brought against Kurt Busch by his ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll.
“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. Their office will review the findings of investigation and make a decision whether Mr. Busch will be charged or not.”
Driscoll, president of the Armed Forces Foundation, alleged that Busch slammed her head against the bedroom wall of Busch’s motorhome three times. The incident supposedly occurred during a NASCAR race weekend in late September while Busch’s motorhome was parked outside of Dover International Speedway. Driscoll is also seeking an order of protection from the Delaware court in a case that is currently ongoing. The protective order hearing is scheduled to resume January 12.
Busch has vehemently denied the allegations. In a statement released by his attorney Rusty Hardin, the allegations were characterized as “a complete fabrication.”
NASCAR chairman Brian France previously stated that no disciplinary action would be taken until the police investigation was complete but added that, “If charges are filed, that will change our equation, and we will look at that.”
