And this guy apparently wants to run for Rubio’s Florida Senate Seat? From Raw Story:
A firestorm surrounding Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) ignited after reports emerged that he is the subject of an active criminal investigation for allegedly assaulting a woman inside a penthouse at a high-end apartment building in The Wharf area, according to media reports.
The incident that unfolded last week between the MAGA lawmaker and a 27-year-old woman also ignited an internal investigation over the Metropolitan Police Department’s handling of the situation, local NBC affiliate News4 reported.
..
The alleged victim, who is being described in media reports as “not the congressman’s wife,” told the news station in a text message exchange: “Yesterday, I contacted law enforcement to address a personal matter… Although the argument was emotionally charged, there was no physical abuse involved.”
She added that bruises found on her “were from medical conditions and activities from a recent overseas trip,” News4 reported.
An initial police report painted a serious ordeal.
“(Her significant other for over a year) grabbed her, shoved her, and pushed her out of the door,” the report obtained by News4 said. It also added that the woman showed a responding officer: “bruises on her arm which appeared fresh.”
“The first report goes on to note that during a phone call between the significant other and alleged victim, she ‘let officers hear Subject 1 [now identified by MPD as Mills] instruct her to lie about the origin of her bruises … Eventually, Subject 1 made contact with police and admitted that the situation escalated from verbal to physical, but it was severe enough to create bruising,’” the station reported.
The officer noted she was “physically shaking and scared” upon arrival. While Mills was initially told he would be placed under arrest, the woman “approached police and recanted the details, including where the bruises came from.”
