Prosecutors have offered former University of Colorado Assistant Coach Joe Tumpkin a misdemeanor plea deal in his assault case over the objections of Tumpkin’s ex-girlfriend Pamela Fine, the named victim in the case.
Tumpkin, 47, was charged with five counts of felony second-degree assault and three counts of misdemeanor third-degree assault.
Tumpkin is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Dec. 12, but emails obtained by the Daily Camera between Fine and prosecutors from the 17th Judicial District indicate prosecutors offered Tumpkin a plea deal as early as May, when Tumpkin’s case was still tied up in an appeal.
