Scott Lee Cohen -- a pawnbroker who shocked state Democratic leaders
Tuesday night by winning the party's nomination for lieutenant governor
-- was arrested about four-and-a-half years ago and accused of holding
a knife to a former live-in girlfriend's neck, newly obtained court
records show.
The misdemeanor charge against Cohen was dropped
weeks later when the woman -- who had just been found guilty of
prostitution -- failed to show up to testify, according to those
records.
