John Wiley Price, Dwane Caraway Cleared by Grand Jury in Gospel Radio Fight

After hearing four hours of testimony, a Dallas County grand jury declined Wednesday to indict Commissioner John Wiley Price or his political rival, ex-Dallas council member Dwaine Caraway in their February scuffle at a gospel radio station.

The grand jury called at least five witnesses: Robert Ashley, the host of KHVN-AM Heaven (970); George Nash, who alleged Price choked him; Tiara Sims, who produced the show and filmed the dust-up; and Micah Philips and Cedric Davis, who were both running to unseat Price.
