"The saga of Frank Somerville, the former anchor of KTVU's popular nightly newscast, continues with another arrest, this time for battery, in what's now his fourth run-in with the law. Bay Area News Group reports that Somerville was arrested Monday evening around 6:50 pm, somewhere in Oakland, but the complete details of the incident remain unclear the news group is going solely on publicly available jail records at Santa Rita Jail."
"On Facebook, Somerville posted a selfie with a bloodied face Tuesday morning, saying, "I want to address my arrest," and saying that he remains nine months sober. "My daughter is a full blown weed addict. She smokes morning noon and night. Yesterday she was in withdrawal and demanding money," Somerville writes. Can a person be "in withdrawal" from cannabis? I digress."
"Somerville said his daughter, Callie, came to his home uninvited and "We got into a physical fight because she wouldnt leave." Somerville alleges that after Callie left he called his ex-wife and then went to his ex-wife's home, where Callie apparently lives, for fear that another altercation could occur. "By the time I got there Callie had called the police," Somerville writes. "They arrested me even though Callie told them she didn't want to press charges.""
