Rep. Bob Filner Charged With Assault on Virginia Airport Worker
Monday , August 20, 2007
WASHINGTON —
California Rep. Bob Filner was facing charges Monday for allegedly assaulting an airline worker at Dulles International Airport after becoming upset that his luggage had not arrived at a baggage carousel.
Filner, 64, is slated to appear in Loudoun County, Va., General District Court on Oct. 2. Court officials could not say whether the San Diego Democrat had been served the summons yet to show up on that date. Filner's office passed all inquiries directly to the congressman, who has yet to respond.
According to law enforcement officials, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority police were called to the United Airlines baggage claim office at about 6 p.m. Sunday evening for a report of an incident with a passenger regarding his baggage.
"The individual allegedly attempted to enter an area authorized for airline employees only, pushed aside the employees outstretched arm and refused to leave the area when asked by an airline employee," according to airport police.
"When MWAA officers arrived a few minutes later, the man had left the office and was waiting in the area of a bag carousel. Officers interviewed him and witnesses and released him. Before the individual left the airport, officers advised him that the airline employee would be pursuing charges," the police statement reads.
The statement says the airport worker filed assault and battery charges, a class 1 misdemeanor.

Comments:
It is unbelievable to me that someone who was voted in by the people, is expecting to be re-elected with a record like this? You are not listening to your constituants and you will be rewarded when it comes time to vote again, because, you definately will not be getting my vote.
A misdemeanor in VA?? Drat, I've wasted some golden opportunities. But then, I've got a soon-to-be-ex-son-in-law that is in need of some "career couseling."
Then I'll repent and give thanks that I waited until no witnesses were present....8~)
