The Las Vegas Sun reported Monday that a beleaguered Nevada lawmaker was 86’ed from a Reno casino on Friday after a “disagreement with restaurant staff.”
However, Assemblyman Steven Brooks, D-North Las Vegas, reportedly claimed he was booted because the casino didn’t like the “bad press” he has been getting lately.
According to the Las Vegas Sun:
| Brooks has been banned from the Legislative Building and is on paid administrative leave as a select committee prepares to hear evidence on whether he is fit to serve in the Legislature. In the past month, Brooks has been arrested twice in Las Vegas — once on allegations he threatened Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick, D-North Las Vegas, and a second time on domestic battery charges. He also was detained by police for a psychiatric evaluation and was hospitalized for five days. |
