A few weeks ago, Nevada Democratic Assemblyman Steven Brooks, 40, was
arrested for threatening to kill the Nevada Speaker of the Assembly. This
week he is behind bars again, this time charged with suspicion of domestic
battery against a thus far unnamed family member.
Authorities reported that Brooks was arrested on February 11 outside his Las
Vegas home after getting combative with police. Officials say that they had
“determined Brooks had physically attacked a family member.” Further
details have yet to be released on the incident.
This isn’t the first time Assemblyman Brooks mixed it up with police. At
the end of January, Democrat Brooks was arrested for “threats of physical
violence” lodged against Nevada Assembly Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick, also
a Democrat.
Brooks was released the day after he was arrested and called a press
conference for later that day. Strangely, the lawmaker didn’t attend his
own press conference. His attorney, Mitchell Posin, told reporters that
Brooks had been hospitalized with “intestinal bleeding.”
By January 25, Brooks told members of the Nevada media that he was the one
in danger, not Speaker Kirkpatrick, and that he had hired armed guards to
keep him safe.
Brooks’ erratic behavior continued that same day when police were called to
his home for another domestic disturbance. Brooks had, however, left the
scene before police arrived. Police were told he had been taken to the
hospital for medical evaluation.
Brooks has released no statement on his latest arrest. | t**********3
