Next up, a man brutally beaten by Chattanooga police has had charges dismissed. 37-year-old Adam Tatum appeared before Judge Christine Sell to have three of his assault convictions overturned. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of simple assault after he brandished a knife on a fellow inmate. Tatum was sentenced to six months with credit for time served. Chattanooga police officers savagely beat Tatum June 14th when they responded to a disorder call at the Salvation Army halfway house. Tatum suffered six fractures to his right leg and two fractures to his left leg. Tatum still has 55 days left to serve on his federal sentence for a robbery charge but it's unclear whether he'll receive credit for time served.
