Nevada Assemblyman Steven Brooks jailed again; allegedly attacks family member
Nevada Assemblyman Steven Brooks was arrested early Sunday morning in Las Vegas on suspicion of domestic violence after allegedly attacking a family member in a physical confrontation and then attempting to take a law enforcement officer's gun.
The arrest, reported at 12:30 a.m. came only days after Brooks, 40, agreed to a leave of absence while being investigated for a number of bizarre events that began with his arrest for allegedly making threats to Nevada Assembly Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick.
As police officers attempted to take Brooks into custody, he reportedly fought back. Las Vegas Metro Police said Brooks “at one point attempted to secure one of the officers' weapons.”
