Former Miami-Dade Prosecutor David Ranick charged with battery after punching a pizza woman outside his Miami Beach condo. Ranick and the woman engaged in a jeering match when the delivery person could not gain access to Ranicks gated community. The woman insisted that Ranick come downstairs to collect his pizza. Upon doing so reports stated that Ranick proceeded to commit battery on the woman by punching her in the arm. Ranick claimed that the woman tapped him with her car which prompted the assault.
Ranick is known for controversy amongst his co workers. In one instance Ranick had sued Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Rundle, claiming that he was wrongfully suspended in regards to his internal memo which aired misgivings about a fatal police shooting. Ranick is no longer an employee for the prosecutor's office.
The governor's office appointed a Broward prosecutor to handle the case to avoid a conflict of interest.
Ranick's misdemeanor battery charge will be dropped after six months upon the completion of an anger management class and 25 hours of community service.
