Reporters interviewed Democrat Steven Brooks after his arrest in January for threatening to shoot Nevada Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick. Steven went to the interview… shirtless.
This weekend Steven was arrested again after wrestling with cops and trying to take their guns. The Las Vegas Sun reported, via Politomix:
Police on Sunday again have arrested embattled Nevada Assemblyman Steven Brooks, D-North Las Vegas, this time after a report that he allegedly attacked a family member.
Officers arrived at Brooks’ home around 12:30 a.m. at 6007 Turtle River Avenue to find that he was “agitated and refused to obey officers’ commands,” Metro Police said.
As officers tried to take him into custody, police said, Brooks fought them. In a news release, Metro said the 40-year-old “at one point attempted to secure one of the officers’ weapons.”
Police arrested the Las Vegas resident on counts of obstructing police and domestic battery.
A court hearing for Brooks scheduled for Monday morning was continued.
