City Councilor Joel Montgomery took the opportunity to step to the podium at yesterday’s city council meeting to talk about the recent dropping of charges against him stemming from an incident along Cobb Lane on Birmingham’s Southside in April. He read from a prepared statement and said that reports in the media that stated he would be undergoing counseling as a part of his dismissal. Montgomery repeatedly denied the allegations and said that it would be the last time that he would talk about the incident, but that he wanted his comments in the public record.
