New York Senator Kevin Parker allegedly shoved a lobbyist and had to be restrained by onlookers before a committee meeting on energy and communications.
A New York state senator had to be held back after he allegedly shoved a lobbyist in the capital building in Albany before a committee meeting on energy and telecommunications. Michael Carey, a lobbyist seeking support for a 911 civil rights bill, told Fox News Digital he was speaking with Democratic Sen. Kevin Parker before the Standing Committee on Energy and Telecommunications on Wednesday, when the altercation took place.
In 2005, Parker was arrested and charged with third-degree assault after punching a traffic agent who gave him a ticket for double-parking, according to news reports from that time. In that same year, a former aide accused Parker of threatening her after she publicly complained that he shoved and hit her when she worked for him. Parker was also convicted of misdemeanor criminal mischief charges in 2010 after he chased a New York Post photographer and damaged their camera.
