Overview
- Daniel James Curran, 34, was arrested and charged with felony battery on a person 65 or older and violating a domestic-violence injunction.
- An affidavit says Curran pushed Mayor Dean Trantalis outside his home, then grabbed his leg and dragged him about 15 feet, injuring his wrist, leg and knee.
- Police said they found Curran at the mayor’s residence despite an active protection order that barred him from approaching the property.
- A judge set bond at $6,000 and ordered no contact, no return to the location, and no firearms or ammunition; Curran posted bond and was released.
- The Broward State Attorney’s Office asked the Governor’s Office to assign the case to another jurisdiction, and court filings seek a permanent restraining order.
