We have a speedy end to our first ever official Peace Thugs story. 

Girl Slapper John H. Meicht agreed to a plea deal that includes a written apology to the victim, community service, a fine and good behavior.

Iraq war protester takes plea agreement in assault case  Charges will be withdrawn if John H. Meicht abides by terms; victim says she is pleased with the decision and that justice was served.

Criminal charges against a demonstrator at the borough’s weekly war protests who allegedly shoved a Philadelphia blogger videotaping the event could be dismissed under plea agreement terms accepted Friday.

Appearing in front of Magisterial District Judge Gwenn Knapp, John H. Meicht agreed to write a formal letter of apology to the blogger, complete 30 hours of community service and stay out of trouble for the next 60 days. If he does so, the counts of simple assault, resisting arrest, harassment, recklessly endangering another person and related charges against him will be withdrawn by the district attorney’s office.

In their place, Meicht, 62, of West Goshen, would be allowed to plead guilty to a summary offense of disorderly conduct and pay a fine.

Skye, the victim of the assault, is said to be satisfied with the agreement, so we at Peacethugs.com are too.

But we are also watching to see if Meicht understands the concept of “Good Behavior”…
