Charges will be dropped against Garret Allen Doty, who was accused of assaulting former San Francisco Fire Commissioner Don Carmignani with a metal pipe. Carmignani used pepper spray before the attack, and the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office used self-defense as its reason for dropping the charges. Carmignani may be prosecuted for using pepper spray. Doty remains in San Francisco Jail with no listed bail.
