ONLY ON CLIFFVIEW PILOT: A 22-year old man who broke his girlfriend’s ankle when she was dragged by her own car during an argument avoided jail time today in a plea agreement.

However, Ricky McMillian of Paterson (top, right) received a reprimand from Superior Court Judge Edward Jerejian, who sentenced him to three years probation for third-degree aggravated assault.

“You dragged her, breaking her ankle – for what?” the judge asked.  “Because you’re a man?  You could have killed her.”

Citing a long history of domestic violence incidents that began at a young age, Jerejian told McMillian: “You obviously have some sort of problem with your relationships. You have been in and out of domestic violence court.

“Attitude or temper doesn’t lend itself well to relationships.”

Jerejian, sitting in Hackensack, cited a strong need to deter such conduct, which he said he hoped three years of probation would do to McMillian.
