Lemon Grove City Councilwoman Liana LeBaron refused to answer questions on camera Tuesday night about her arrest for domestic battery stemming from an alleged incident with her husband
"Omari, you're welcome to email me your questions and I'd be happy to answer them," LeBaron told Fleming.
LeBaron told NBC 7 Monday that she and her husband are going through a divorce and that his accusations are false.“My husband and I are going through a divorce," she said in an email."Because he is a police officer, he understands the legal system better than I do. He called law enforcement during a recent argument and claimed that I threw a portion of his uniform that hit his shin. His claim is false, and he admitted that he has no sign of injury to his body.
City Manager Lydia Romero said the city was aware of Lebaron's arrest but didn't offer any further comment.
