The man described as the ex-boyfriend who allegedly assaulted Alameda County Supervisor Nadia Lockyer at a Newark hotel two weeks ago has a history of methamphetamine arrests dating back 15 years and is facing drug charges in a separate case in San Jose, law enforcement records show.

The 35-year-old San Jose resident is the focus of the investigation into the possible battering of Lockyer, wife of state Treasurer Bill Lockyer, at the Homewood Suites on Cedar Boulevard early Feb. 3, according to Newark police. We're withholding his name because he has not been arrested.

Nadia Lockyer said last week that she has since checked in to a program for treatment of chemical dependency, chronic pain from an old car accident and "injuries from the assault."

But sources say that Nadia Lockyer met her alleged assailant in a drug rehab program that she was in back in 2010, the same year she was elected to the board.

We've also learned from law enforcement sources that the Lockyers' 8-year-old son was with his mother at the time of the alleged attack.

Bill Lockyer's bizarro explanation for his wife's being in a motel room with another man......he and his wife argued so she went to the motel to comfort her suicidal ex-boyfriend who has a long history of involvement with the criminal justice system. Lockyer said, "her only fault is occasionally having one too many drinks."

One of Lockyer's donors weighs in.

"Duh---that's what most married woman dood after an argument."
